We all know that prescription drug prices are costing us a lot of money. One Ohio company is doing something about it. 46brooklyn was created to obtain, analyze and release data on pharmaceutical pricing. Co-founder Eric Pachman’s experience in retail pharmacy management showed him something was fundamentally flawed in prescription drug supply chain. At the same time, Antonio Ciaccia was advocating for drug price transparency for the Ohio Pharmacists Association. The two joined forces, and 46brooklyn was born. Join Scott McGohan for a revealing conversation on how data holds the key to controlling drug costs.
