Our Services
Principle Pharmacy Group provides hospitals and health systems proven solutions to their pharmacy management challenges. The primary issues facing both pharmacy managers and hospital administration include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Pharmacy Management
  Our right-services, right-time approach helps hospital pharmacies focus on their core competencies while trusting Principle Pharmacy Group to manage some of their most important business functions transparently. We provide hospitals with access to onsite and remote support services designed to optimize and maintain clinical, operational and financial excellence. By outsourcing non-core business functions, hospital pharmacies leverage the clinical and business expertise of a corporate resource pool of over 200 clinical pharmacists and business experts. This expertise reduces the time-to-completion while ensuring optimal outcomes for a pharmacy’s most critical business functions and projects.
• RxRecruit™ - Recruiting interim & full-time management & staff level pharmacy personnel
  Because filling a pharmacy position is so crucial to patient care, we work with your hiring manager to understand your specific needs and the needs of your pharmacy department. Our recruiting panel has over 150 years of experience as pharmacy professionals. We take the time to understand the culture of the institution, your city and your region. We know pharmacy - and we really know pharmacists.
• RxExpend™ - Pharmaceutical cost containment
  We use an organization's medication purchase history, GPO and wholesaler data to identify actionable opportunities around inventory and buying group compliance. Our online tool highlights specific savings opportunities using high-level dashboards with drill-down capabilities to improve supply chain management, enhance formulary/GPO compliance, and maximize 340B programs. We are able to give our clients an independent, unbiased service to monitor and improve their pharmacy purchasing program.
• Principle University™
  A comprehensive approach to educational services is provided to our employees, nurses, medical staff members and patients. In addition to providing both job specific competencies and fully-accredited continuing educational programs for our pharmacists and technicians, we provide a vast array of training sessions from interviewing and managing employees, e-mail etiquette, and software enhancement skills. Additionally, Principle provides monthly in-services for nursing and allied staff members, twice weekly email "Value Updates" related to medication and patient care issues and monthly newsletters. In development are patient education programs to enhance disease state and medication understanding.

Pharmacy Consulting Services for:

• Automation development, integration and support
  Emerging technologies, robotics and the use of point-of-care systems represent critical decisions for hospitals to execute. Principle provides system experience and manpower to ease the adoption and optimization of new technology. We ensure that systems are properly configured and integrated so that applications are built right the first time and an optimal ROI can be achieved.
• Patient safety and regulatory compliance
  Due to ongoing changes to Joint Commission accreditation and regulatory compliance, acute-care hospitals must continuously evaluate current practices and control clinical processes in order to maintain a high level of compliance. We have established programs, mock surveys and tracer models that ensure hospitals are best prepared for regulatory surveys.
• In-Sourcing
  Organizations transitioning from an outsourced pharmacy provider can now utilize Principle's in-sourcing services. Complete departmental systems and manpower can be mobilized allowing hospitals the temporary resources needed to achieve service, resource and cultural changes. Principle provides healthcare entities single-source recruitment and interim management services, in addition to its time-proven pharmacy operation, patient safety and clinical resources.
