The long term care pharmacy market operates in a regulated industry where profit margins are tight and customer service expectations are growing. Increasing profitability and customer service without an increase in staff size is a difficult task.

Many pharmacies still utilize paper-based processes for their day-to-day operations increasing processing time, employee work load and profitability. Integra customers have found that DocuTrack and DeliveryTrack not only improve efficiency while processing documents but also streamline workflow.

DocuTrack

As pharmacies are increasingly inundated with paper, a pharmacy document management system can greatly aid in the reduction of processing, filing and retrieval time. Handling all this paper costs time and money, plus it interferes with effectively servicing customers. A complete pharmacy workflow and document management solution is vital in retaining a competitive edge in today's cluttered marketplace.

With DocuTrack your pharmacy can:

• Reduce costs through the elimination of paper and paper-based processes while streamlining or centralizing your pharmacy operations.
• Increase productivity with instant access to all orders and the elimination or reassignment of paper related tasks while processing more orders per FTE and re-tasking staff to more important jobs.
• Improve customer service with no more lost faxes, fewer and shorter telephone calls and the ability to provide immediate responses to inquiries.
• Minimize errors with instant access to all orders, complete document history with one click and an intuitive workflow created specifically for your pharmacy.

DeliveryTrack

An innovative delivery solution specifically tailored to pharmacies managing their own delivery. With DeliveryTrack you can gain full control of your delivery process through:

• Electronic signature capture
• Real-time proof of delivery
• Full integration with DocuTrack
• Barcode scanning of delivery manifests
• Cell phone connectivity
• GPS positioning of driver locations
• Route optimization
• Real-time synchronization of data back to the pharmacy

No more lost delivery manifests. No more hassles with proof of delivery—just a simple-to-use, cost-effective solution that will streamline your operations and provide the features most critical to self managed delivery services.

DeliveryTrack provides electronic signature capture for enhanced compliance and electronic tracking of returns for improved audit reports. Pharmacy delivery costs are significantly reduced through optimized routing, reducing excess fuel expenses and overtime pay, while tote scanning eliminates re-delivery issues.
