Bill and Will Lockwood -- The American Society For Automation In Pharmacy (ASAP) | Pharmacy Crossroads

The American Society For Automation In Pharmacy – or ASAP – could be the pharmacy organization that most directly effects the daily practice of pharmacy. And, it is very likely that you, as a practicing pharmacist, have never heard of this important organization. In this episode of PharmacyCrossRoads we talk with Bill Lockwood, founder and Executive Director ASAP. Joining in the program is Will Lockwood, Assistant Director of ASAP and Bill’s son. These two industry experts explain how the standard settings services ASAP provides make it possible for your pharmacy system to provide a variety of services, without which, modern day pharmacy practice would not be possible. You’ll learn how ASAP brings industry competitors together, in a carefully coordinated and legal manner, to address issues that make it possible for Prescription Drug Monitoring programs to work, for interfaces between various pharmacy systems and services to work. And, how the organization works with the FDA, CMS and other government agencies to insure you can fill scripts quickly and accurate and that all your systems “play nice” with one another.
