Our ETL-RX informed us today that our DTL-RX & HIS boss (RTL?) are coming for a "visit" tomorrow and we should ALL be prepared to answer questions as to "being brand" and "diversity" in the pharmacy. At least, that's what I think the email said...I didn't really get to see it :( It implied that these things in pharmacy are somehow different??? Other than observing HIPAA laws, I'm at a TOTAL loss. Any ideas on what to say if I'm questioned on these? I've never been present at one of these "visits" before???

Oh, and she is COMPLETELY :blowup: about this. Are these REALLY such a major deal??
 
"Brand" I could see as being crucial - knowing best practices, critical points during the processes.
"Diversity" I could only see as to respecting someone's beliefs for declining to fill a Rx because of "moral objections" (ie: contraceptives) & being able to step up to complete the Rx for the guest.
 
Know this too:
F - fairness
A - accountability
R - recognition
Along with knowing your store mission.
Be in stock - always in stock
Fun, fast, & friendly - great service, redcards, surveys, rx rewards
Great looking store - presentation, cleanness, FIFO
Drive sales - know your sales
I forgot the rest.
You can find your store mission on workbench under your core roles. I am closing tonight, so I can't look it up, right now.

Thanks for all the help...next question...I don't suppose there's any way to access this from home, is there? :(
 
No. But go in a few minutes early. Go to tsc, access workbench from there. If anyone asks what you are doing there, just say I am using ehr for a day off.

Good luck!
 
Thanks! I could probably snag my training folder too...all the info should be in there as well and it's probably still in the file ;)
 
/me gives Hardlinesmaster and redeye a round of applause and a GTC. Good job guys.
 
All went well...I wasn't asked anything :p As a pharmacy overall, we have "nothing to improve on" and had "no dings against us" as the ETL-RX put it...they were quite impressed and our ETL & STL were pleased to say the least:thumbsup:

btw, I DID manage to snag my training folder before my shift and review "best practices" (which I "follow", but don't know that I could recite chapter and verse if you asked me)...interestingly enough, I also found the folder of the person who started BEFORE me...a YEAR before me LOL!
