When you think of what a pharmacy is, you probably think about the local drugstore down the street, or a busy street corner of your favorite pharmacy chain. That’s fine for when it comes to an individual or family that needs to pick up regular prescriptions, but when it comes to the more sophisticated and urgent needs of a hospital system, it’s a whole new ball game.
