The landscape of healthcare is rapidly evolving, with technology playing an increasingly pivotal role. Treatment.com AI Inc. has announced the launch of its groundbreaking AI Pharmacy Assistant. This innovative solution is set to revolutionize pharmacy practice, enhancing the role of pharmacists and improving patient care.
The Evolving Role of Pharmacists
Pharmacists are playing an increasing role in the provision of clinical decision support services, given the growing number of people without a general practitioner (GP) and lengthy appointment wait times. In Ontario alone, pharmacies conducted over one million assessments for common ailments last year, a trend reflected across Canada, the UK, and emerging U.S. legislation.
Introducing AI Pharmacy Assist
Set to launch later in 2024, AI Pharmacy Assistant by Treatment.com AI is designed to support pharmacists in delivering enhanced clinical decision support services. This state-of-the-art tool leverages the proprietary Global Library of Medicine (GLM), an extensive and integrated online medical library. AI Pharmacy Assistant offers several key features:
- Streamlined Patient Histories and Symptom Collection: The AI Pharmacy Assist uses the GLM to gather and process patient information quickly and efficiently, significantly reducing the time required for this task.
- Accurate Documentation: Ensuring all interactions with patients are documented automatically, providing a comprehensive audit trail. This enhances accuracy and compliance with healthcare regulations.
- Enhanced Diagnostic Capabilities: The AI-driven diagnostic tools provide reliable and accurate clinical information, empowering pharmacists to offer more comprehensive care.
- Minimized Human Errors: By providing precise and up-to-date medical information, the AI Pharmacy Assistant reduces the risk of errors, improving clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.
The Global Library of Medicine (GLM)
The backbone of the AI Pharmacy Assistant is the Global Library of Medicine (GLM). Created with input from hundreds of credentialed clinicians worldwide, the GLM ensures the highest quality clinical information and support for healthcare professionals. It offers over 92% accuracy on first diagnosis and in supporting healthcare professionals further, provides recommended tests, x-rays, and billing codes.
Market Potential and Growth
The global clinical decision support systems (CDSS) market is projected to grow significantly, reaching approximately $4.05 billion by 2029 from $2.46 billion in 2024. This growth is driven by technological advancements and the integration of AI and machine learning in healthcare decision-making processes. AI Pharmacy Assistant is well-positioned to capitalize on this burgeoning market, providing valuable support to pharmacists and enhancing patient care.
Addressing the Pharmacist Shortage
Globally, there is a significant shortage of pharmacists. This shortage, coupled with the increasing demand for their services, means pharmacists are being stretched thin. AI Pharmacy Assistant provides crucial support, helping pharmacists manage their workload more effectively and deliver high-quality care. By streamlining administrative tasks and enhancing diagnostic capabilities, AI Pharmacy Assistant allows pharmacists to focus more on patient care.
Benefits for All Stakeholders
AI Pharmacy Assistant offers numerous benefits for various stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem:
- Healthcare Payers: AI Pharmacy Assistant helps improve efficiency and reduce costs by avoiding patient complications and unnecessary hospital visits.
- Pharmacists: It relieves administrative burdens, allowing pharmacists to focus on patient care and expand their diagnostic capabilities with confidence.
