What does the data tell us?

• Large proportion of pharmacies

are not active

• Quit rates are low in some

pharmacies

• Clients with no outcomes are an

issue

• Use PharmOutcomes to help

monitor your clients progress: ‘Provision History’, launch a tracker report, or filter clients by service

• Get outcomes for your clients –

payment is made even for a not quit
