UNIQUE BENEFITS:
- With the operations of a pharmacy being a required element of PharmD courses, this textbook
will provide pharmacy students with an understanding of business processes used and how
those processes impact their practice of pharmacy in providing patient care.
- The material will provide those who aspire to become managers in healthcare organizations
with a foundation of how to manage in an environment that is focused on “the business of
healthcare.”
- Special features include cases that allow students to apply what they have learned in the
chapters to business situations with the context of various practice settings.

REVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL:
Overall, I believe there is a definitive market for this application-based text in pharmacy education as
well as general pharmacy practice. Based on the description of the overall purpose of the book, the
chapters (as indicated by their title only) should be sufficient. Most of the aspects in the proposed text
are compulsory part of our required pharmacy textbook
