Shane is a pharmacist and entrepreneur specializing in innovative patient-care models and the use of technology to improve adherence, patient health outcomes and quality measures.

He has consulted for North America’s largest chains and smallest independents. As the Advisory Committee Chair for Healthy Residential Solutions Inc (HRS) in 2009, Shane led an independent pharmacy collaborative that used technology, including Catalyst’s AdhereNet pharmacy software platform and electronic medication administration record, oneMAR®, to ensure quality patient care. Recognizing the need to address healthcare costs through accessible technology, he founded Pack4U and holds several patents.
