Customizable Staffing Solutions for Pharmacies
We understand there’s no one-size-fits-all staffing solution for pharmacies. At Medix, we know the unique challenges facing the industry, which is why we customize our staffing solutions to meet your pharmacy’s needs. Whether you manage a large inpatient pharmacy or a small retail outlet, we can provide customizable staffing solutions to address your specific challenges.
Inpatient Pharmacies
Inpatient pharmacies, such as in hospitals or surgical centers, have become a fundamental part of clinical programs and cost-saving measures. However, this has resulted in increased burnout, with many people leaving the sector. Recent research shows 53.6% of hospitals reporting pharmacy service integration coupled with declines in staffing.1 There’s a growing need for high-quality pharmacy technicians to adopt additional responsibilities, allowing pharmacists to focus on broader initiatives.
When you partner with Medix for your inpatient pharmacy, you can have access to our vast network of highly qualified pharmacy technicians. Many candidates in our network have extensive experience working in inpatient pharmacies, and they understand how to meet the demands of this fast-paced environment. Hiring technologists who can manage increased responsibilities can free up your pharmacists’ time and alleviate burnout among your team.
Retail Pharmacies
While staffing issues among giant retail pharmacies have been well-documented, smaller community pharmacies have been no less affected by the current shortage of workers. The National Community Pharmacists Association found that 67% of community pharmacy owners and managers have had difficulty filling open positions. Among those surveyed, over 80% said that pharmacy technician roles were the hardest to fill.2
Medix has experience partnering with independent and community retail pharmacies to manage staffing shortages. Whether you need a temporary technician to cover an employee’s sick leave or permanent placements, we have the resources and expertise to find qualified talent for your organization.
Warehouse and Closed-Door Pharmacies
For warehouse and closed-door pharmacies, staffing challenges often center on the need for specialized, highly skilled talent. These pharmacies need technicians with advanced knowledge to manage large inventories and complex medications.
If you’re having difficulties hiring for these positions, consider partnering with Medix Staffing Solutions. We can quickly source, recruit, and hire qualified people for your pharmacy and work with you to build a talent pipeline for your future staffing needs.
