Walgreens Annual Review Model

Chapter 2 This paper draws on primary source information provided by 2014 Walgreens Annual Report, 2013-2014 Alliance Boots Annual Report, 2014 CVS Annual Report, and published prescription reimbursement rates of England, France, and Germany. Additionally there is secondary source material. As the first firm to ever state that their firm’s definition is that they are the first global pharmacy-led, health, and wellbeing Corporation, the literature review on the subject is not even present. Thus this literature review is of the inputs that comprise how can Walgreens Boots Alliance make the global healthcare delivery model profitable? The charts below highlight the revenue centers for the respective legacy organizations of Walgreens and Alliance

A study conducted by Jackson & Kogut, (2013) concluded that pharmacist screening of patient self-reported health information through EMR can result in the detection of a significant number of patients at increased risk for aspirin-induced UGIB. Kilcup, Schultz. Carlson, & Wilson, B. (2012) studied the readmission rates of high risk patients and the effects of medication reconciliation done by a pharmacist via electronic medical record review. They found that medication reconciliation significantly reduced readmission. Financially, their studied concluded that per 100 patients studied, there is a minimum healthcare savings of $35,000, translating to more than $1,500,000

In terms of medication reconciliation, virtual reconciliation with the patient yielded no significant detriment to the patient outcome (Heyworth, et al., 2013). Of course it would be remiss to state that virtual is a preferred system rather it provides an alternative format when face to face contact is not possible. To expand on the potential of EMR it does not need to exist in a clinical setting rather its boundaries are limitless as it can be done mobile. Test studies have found that EMR can be delivered through Smartphone-based devices and applications (SBDAs). (Dayer, et al., 2013). This strategy can improve medication adherence by providing patient reminders about taking the medication and
