Pharmacy Management Solutions

Pharmacy Management Solutions began in 2007 when Anthony Panici Sr. set out to bring compassion, personal connection, and practical solutions to an industry often focused more on processes than people. What started as a pharmacist’s mission to make care more attentive and effective has evolved into a clinical consulting company that partners with long-term care facilities to improve resident outcomes and strengthen care teams from within.

The company offers a broad range of services for long-term care, covering adolescent to geriatric support. These include medication regimen reviews, admission and change-of-condition evaluations, psychotropic medication tracking, medication administration, and more. The team also assists with plans of correction, audits medicine carts, and supports performance improvement initiatives. All services integrate smoothly with major Electronic Medical Record and Electronic Health Record platforms, keeping clinical work closely tied to daily operations.

But none of this operates like a checklist. It works because of how the team shows up.

ROOTED IN FAMILY AND BUILT ON ACCOUNTABILITY

Anthony V. Panici, CEO of Pharmacy Management Solutions, leads the company today, carrying forward his father’s vision. Though it may appear to be a large clinical firm, inside it operates with the warmth and trust of a family business. His cousin, Anna Holguin, PharmD, Chief Operating Officer at the company, oversees clinical operations and helps shape Pharmacy Management Solutions’ culture. Their family-rooted partnership influences every part of the organization and is deeply felt by employees and pharmacy partners.

This culture creates an internal rhythm. Say what needs to be said, take ownership, and step up to fix what is broken. Facilities trust the company’s consultants when stakes are high. Whether a resident’s condition changes suddenly or a state survey arrives unexpectedly, the team stays engaged until solutions are found.

Every partnership starts without a one-size-fits-all approach. Panici and Holguin often visit facilities in person, walk the halls, meet with staff, and introduce consultants who will be on-site. Listening first ensures support begins with understanding rather than assumption.

The result is long-term relationships. Consultants stay with their facilities for years, building trust so staff can call when something seems off, whether it is a medication concern or subtle behavioral changes after a fall. These calls are part of the job, not burdens.

“We address challenges head-on, resolve them at the root, and stay committed to delivering the best service to our clients,” says Panici.

CULTURE THAT CREATES CONSISTENCY

Success does not come from one mindset. The team comprises pharmacists with varied experience, ranging from a few years to over two decades. This mix fosters a culture where learning happens through conversation and collaboration rather than hierarchy.

Consultants meet at least once a year to share insights about what worked, challenges faced, and lessons learned. Discussions cover clinical issues and software updates, continually sharpening the team’s expertise.

“Everyone gets stronger because we are not holding our experience in separate corners,” says Holguin.

This collaboration ensures a quick response when surprises arise. If a pharmacy’s in-house consultant cannot complete a review, Pharmacy Management Solutions steps in smoothly. Even temporary coverage meets the highest standards, ensuring facilities remain compliant and partners are fully supported. Once done, consultants step back naturally, never making the moment just a transaction.

That attitude reflects what has been at the center of the company since day one. Partnership isn’t a deliverable. It’s how the team works. It’s why staff in facilities know their names, why pharmacy partners rely on them through difficult times, and why a company that began with a single pharmacist and a clear vision continues to grow quietly, steadily, and with purpose.
