Key Features of Choice QUM’s pioneering commQUM package:

The commQUM package relays a sustainable competitive advantage and a viable strategic positioning for your pharmacy.  It is essentially a strategic model that attracts the local communities’ most valuable customers to your pharmacy’s enhanced offering.  

In addition to the above 1) - 6), your pharmacy will benefit from:

  1. Provision of 6-monthly ‘in-house’ patient education/information sessions to promote QUM and retail objectives on topics such as DAA, and management of conditions such as diabetics.  By marketing such services to the local community at large, your pharmacy will benefit by attracting customers and enhancing the loyalty of patients with associated chronic disease states and those who are in high risk categories (e.g. the elderly).
  2. Provision of staff and pharmacist training in the application of various clinical and professional services such as disease state monitoring (cholesterol, BP, BSL, INR) and various avenues to promote the customer’s QUM and retail experience.   We also cater for the required CPD activities.
  3. Co-ordinate and cater for in-shop marketing and promotion of your pharmacy enhanced professional service offering.
  4. Assistance in the development of a business model and associated capabilities that capitalise on emerging government remuneration for community pharmacy based professional services.  For example, ensure your pharmacy is in a position to maximise the ‘roll-out’ of Medication Use Reviews (MUR) from 2012. 
  5. Consultation and assistance with strategic direction and the development of a commercially viable retail platform that incorporates enhanced professional services.  This will involve provision of an annual report that analyses the local pharmacy’s competitive environment and recommends a strategic plan to capitalise on local opportunities and nullifies impending threats on an industry-wide and local level.  A frank independent assessment of the pharmacy’s specific strengths and weaknesses (environmental and internal) that need to be accommodated in capitalising on opportunities and overcoming threats.
  6. Provision of in-shop patient QUM materials, resources and displays.
  7. ‘Rebranding’ of Choice QUM resources to your pharmacy/banner group.
  8. Choice QUM’s clinical pharmacist will encourage the HMR client patients to utilise the enhanced professional services offered by your pharmacy.  Thus, under the direct referral model, Choice QUM’s service can be a powerful means of attracting new customers to your pharmacy.
  9. Exclusive access to the CQUM services within your pharmacy’s catchment.

A flexible service can be tailored to cater for the specific needs of your pharmacy. 
The range and intensity and therefore pricing of activities is negotiable.
