Abstract

Crawford Sheehan*

Pharmacy informatics is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that intersects healthcare, information technology, and pharmacy practice. It involves the integration of data, information, and technology to improve the delivery of pharmaceutical services, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize the management of medications. As healthcare systems increasingly rely on technology to manage patient data, pharmacy informatics plays a crucial role in improving the quality and safety of care. However, despite its significant potential, the field faces several challenges that must be addressed to unlock its full capabilities. This manuscript explores the challenges and opportunities in pharmacy informatics, examining how technological advancements and systemic barriers can impact both the practice of pharmacy and the quality of patient care.
