Conclusions

        The current workforce at
         PKDHL Pharmacies is
         insufficient to
         accommodate the daily
         dispensing of medications

        More pharmacists should
         be employed to pave way
         for new implementations of
         healthcare support such as
         Medication Therapy
         Adherence Clinic (MTAC),
         DPIS, HMR, etc.
