Prescribly was founded in 2018 to help pharmacists fill the gap that is being created by the projected physician shortage. The U.S. population is growing, and the number of people over age 65 is expected to increase by 50% by 2030, causing even more strain on the primary care practice. Pharmacists are uniquely positioned to help alleviate this stress on the healthcare system by providing complete care for simple conditions at the pharmacy.
Laws and regulations are beginning to change (the state of Idaho was the first to pass expanded prescriptive authority), and Prescribly is working to prepare pharmacists for this new practice. Prescribly provides online trainings for pharmacists to learn about the different health conditions they can treat, as well as gain access to screening protocols to assist them in assessing patients.
Our goal is to provide pharmacists the tools they need to educate themselves about the health conditions included in their prescriptive authority.
