Good Neighbor Pharmacy, InSite extranet wins Best in Class award

VALLEY FORGE, Pa. Drug wholesaler and health services giant AmerisourceBergen and its Good Neighbor Pharmacy retail division have been tapped for a “best in class award” for their effort to improve business practices through advanced technology.

The award came at the MicroStrategy World 2010 conference Wednesday. GNP’s InSite system was honored as a cutting-edge extranet application for pharmacy owners.

The InSite system, powered by MicroStrategy, is a business intelligence application developed for retail pharmacies. Within the system are dashboards that provide analytics and personalized information to help pharmacy owners –– including those that own and operate the more than 3,500 GNP locations nationwide –– make better business decisions.

“The management team and our Good Neighbor Pharmacy customers have worked diligently on developing this extranet site which will allow pharmacy owners to uncover opportunities to expand their business, reduce unnecessary costs, help with reimbursement strategies and identify and attract patients with critical needs,” said Chuck Reed, group VP for business management in AmerisourceBergen’s retail sales and marketing unit.

The InSite system also allows customers to compare their performance against peer-group pharmacies, and improve their interactions with patients.

“This is the Web site that allows the retail pharmacist to track their prescription fills, see how they fare against other pharmacies of similar size and markets, and see where they need to improve or are making progress against several key performance indicators,” explained ABC spokesperson Nora Beger.
