Ever wonder what's happening behind the pharmacy counter — and how technology is changing it?

In this episode of Health Tech Checkup, hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas sit down with Dr. Michelle Gregg, oncology pharmacist at Georgia Cancer Specialists, for a candid conversation about the evolving role of pharmacy in a tech-driven healthcare world.

Dr. Gregg draws on 10+ years in oncology (plus stints in hospital pharmacy, PBM, and health informatics) to unpack where the system is working, where it's falling short, and what's coming next. From the first fully CPOE hospital in Georgia to the rise of oral chemotherapy at home, she traces the technology milestones that have shaped patient safety and care delivery.

The conversation gets real around one of oncology's biggest blind spots: care coordination. Patients hit with a cancer diagnosis are often overwhelmed and lost in the system — and Dr. Gregg makes a compelling case for why patient navigation is one of the most urgent unmet needs in oncology today.

In this episode:

• How CPOE and barcoding transformed medication safety
• Why inter-system data sharing remains a stubborn gap
• The growing complexity of oral chemotherapy regimens at home
• What AI and technology could mean for pharmacists in five to ten years
• A surprising conversation about smart pill tech — and why it flopped with one patient population
