The demands of successfully directing a hospital pharmacy are numerous; in fact, clinical positions with a greater array and degree of responsibilities are rare. From ensuring precise and efficient inventory control to building safe and sterile hazardous drug compounding systems and researching new hardware purchases, pharmacy directors are expected to exert expertise over a broad range of clinical and business issues.

With the 2023 Pharmacy Purchasing & Products Resource Guide close at hand, you can remain abreast of the latest tools, technologies, and services available to assist with these responsibilities.

This year’s guide—our 17th annual—provides easy access to over 230 product and service providers that can directly improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of hospital pharmacy practice. With new products and providers entering the marketplace at a rapid rate, it can be difficult to keep track of the best sources for the products you need, all in one place. PP&P’s Resource Guide helps simplify this process.

Given the breadth of possible solutions available to health-system pharmacy, finding the right fit for a specific operation can be daunting. Therefore, we continue to build and refine our repository of information for your use through this Resource Guide, and its online companion: 2FindItNow.com

This online pharmacy resource is larger and more robust than ever, delivering instant access to our full data; just a few clicks will connect you to the vendor or consultant of your choice. We invite you to reach out and let us know if there are additional products or services you would like to see included.

At PP&P we remain devoted to supporting hospital pharmacy leaders. We thank you for your resiliency. If there are ways we can enrich this support, please let us know.

All the best in the New Year,
