Turning complexity into clarity
Shaping the future of pharmaceutical care in hospitals
Why vision and strategy matter
Hospital pharmacy is at a turning point. Rising regulatory pressure, workforce shortages, medicine shortages, financial constraints, and the digital transformation of care delivery all demand a bold and coherent response. Without a shared strategy, initiatives stall, investment decisions lack focus, and the gap between ambition and implementation grows.
That’s where GPP Support comes in. We help hospitals articulate a clear vision for the future of pharmaceutical care – and translate that vision into actionable, supported strategies that lead to measurable improvement.
A strong vision provides foundation and common understanding of the desired end result for all involved.
Our approach
We facilitate tailor-made strategic journeys using a structured yet highly collaborative approach. Our methods combine:
- Strategic analysis and scenario thinking
- Interactive workshops with clinical, operational and executive stakeholders
- Baseline assessments (processes, organisation, infrastructure, KPIs)
- Evidence-based use of ROI modelling (based on the Asclepius Project)
- Integration of project management, change management and stakeholder communication
We apply proven frameworks including:
- “The House of Hospital Pharmacy” – a 10-domain strategy framework used in high-profile hospital projects across Europe
- ROI and value-based healthcare models to demonstrate financial and non-financial value
- Project & change management principles (Agile, PRINCE2, Kotter) tailored to the healthcare environment
From challenge to opportunity
We work from the ground up, mapping the problems our clients face and turning them into opportunities for sustainable improvement:
| Challenge | Strategic Response |
| Medication errors, rising claims and patient safety concerns | Closed Loop Medication Management (CLMM), better data use, clinical pharmacy expansion |
| Overstretched nursing workforce | Robotic dispensing, nurse workload optimisation, outsourcing of routine preparation |
| Lack of integration in EHR, MMS, AMS systems | Interoperability planning, clinical decision support alignment |
| Conflicting stakeholder expectations | Shared vision building through workshop series |
| Budget constraints | ROI-based business cases for investment in automation and digitalisation |
| Unclear role of the pharmacy in the regional or clinical model | Strategic repositioning of the hospital pharmacy as clinical partner and regional provider |
