In keeping with American Pharmacies commitment to protect the interests of independent community pharmacies and increase member's profitability, FDS' myDataMart provides a comprehensive business intelligence tool that provides a deeper look into pharmacy operations. myDataMart offers a robust array of dashboards and graphical reports to American Pharmacies member pharmacies to help them manage patient adherence, five star performance measures, new and lost patients, dispensing analysis and much, much more.
