Healthcare spending has been rising steadily in most of the countries in the world. Multiple factors have been identified as contributors to the development of healthcare sector in these countries, and consistent and rapid developments pertaining to the application of information technology (IT) in this sector has been a major factor. Over the previous couple of decades, information technology has played a key role on the working of millions of people and helped in betterment of various industrial sectors including healthcare. Multiple end users, prescribers and pharmacists, have embraced the benefits of automation. The use of IT solutions has enabled the storage of patients’ records in a structured format; it has also helped to regularize the implementation of electronic prescription, thus saving significant quantity of paper, simplifying the process of administration and drug dispensing, and automating the handling of medicines under the supply chain. It ultimately has helped improve patient safety and provide high-quality care to help the patients make most out of their medicines.

Government agencies worldwide are incorporating various action plans to reshape the current and traditional pharmacies in order to make the best use of the unique skills of pharmacists coupled with implementation of IT. For instance, the Ministry of Health in Wellington, New Zealand, introduced a Pharmacy Action Plan 2016–2020 that describes a range of new and advanced services to be offered by pharmacies with the use of new pharmacy management systems. In addition, the digitalization and automation of the stock and repository management have helped streamline the supply process in case of large pharmacy chains, such as Wallgreens, Apollo, and CVS. Thus, such advancements in healthcare IT are expected to continue to boost the growth of the pharmacy management solutions market in the coming years.

According to the Pharmacy Guild of Australia 2017 and IBIS 2018, there was 30.6% increase in Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) revenue and 6% increase in establishments of pharmacies in 2018, since the past 5 years.
