Video: iA CEO Tom Utech talks about how central fill can help pharmacies' challenges
At NACDS Annual 2025 in Palm Beach, Fla., DSN sat down for a conversation with Tom Utech, CEO of pharmacy fulfillment solutions company iA, who spoke about the challenges facing retail pharmacy and how central fill help.
Today it's really around financial challenges and that really comes in several different ways, whether it's reimbursement, staffing challenges or just resource challenges and then rising drug costs across the board and obviously there's a lot of uncertainty right now with potential tariffs and things like that so it can only complicate the matter," Utech said.
The CEO said central fill help with some of the issues facing retail pharmacy. “A lot of those issues can be eased with reducing the cost of fill overall and so pulling that work into a centralized environment not only can improve the quality, but it really drives down that cost of fill," he said.
