AI Frees Specialty Pharmacy Staff for Patient Care
Original: AI Frees Specialty Pharmacy Staff for Patients: David Mitchell, PharmD
David Mitchell, PharmD, says artificial intelligence is being used in specialty pharmacies to take over routine administrative tasks, allowing pharmacy staff to spend more time directly supporting patients. The remarks, reported by AJMC, frame AI as a workforce tool rather than a replacement, with clinicians redeploying saved time toward patient counseling, adherence support and care coordination.
Why now: Health systems are actively weighing how AI can ease staffing pressures and improve patient-facing care.
