Good Neighbor Pharmacy Receives "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Chain Drug Store Pharmacies” from J.D. Power
VALLEY FORGE, Pa. - Today, Good Neighbor Pharmacy – a national independent pharmacy network offered through
AmerisourceBergen – announced that it has been ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Chain Drug
Store Pharmacies” in the J.D. Power 2019 U.S.Pharmacy Study. This marks the eighth time that Good Neighbor Pharmacy has earned the achievement in the last 10
years.
“The study confirms
what we know to be true about healthcare today: patients trust the care they
receive at their local, independent community pharmacy and value them as a
one-of-a-kind healthcare destination,” said Brian Nightengale, President, Good Neighbor Pharmacy and SVP,
Community & Specialty Pharmacy, AmerisourceBergen. “As the pharmacist’s
role in patient care grows, it’s critical that they work to deepen
relationships and better communicate with their patients. At AmerisourceBergen
and Good Neighbor Pharmacy, we develop tools and programs that allow
independent pharmacists to share their unique stories while spending the most
possible time providing care.”
This year, Good Neighbor Pharmacy ranked the highest in overall satisfaction among chain drug store pharmacies. Good Neighbor Pharmacy received a score of 914 while the average was 842. Additionally, Good Neighbor Pharmacy ranked highest in five factors: Prescription Ordering and Filling Process; Pharmacist; Non-Pharmacist Staff; Cost Competitiveness; and Store.
The customer
service recognition follows AmerisourceBergen’s recent unveiling of new tools that help pharmacies connect with
customers in new and meaningful ways. These tools include medication adherence
support, a market analysis report and expanded digital marketing services. The resources
offer pharmacists solutions that fit within their existing workflows and
empower them to establish strong relationships with their customers.
The U.S. Pharmacy Study, now in its eleventh year, measures
customer satisfaction with brick-and-mortar and mail order pharmacies. The 2019
study is based on responses from 12,059 pharmacy customers who filled a
prescription during the three months prior to the survey period of May-June
2019.
