Telepharmacy

Expanding the Role of Community Pharmacy

ScriptPro provides software and hardware to allow pharmacies to conduct high-quality, safe and efficient telepharmacy operations. The pharmacist can provide pharmaceutical care for patients while maintaining accountability and control over all prescriptions dispensed at the remote pharmacy. Staffing issues become less problematic with telepharmacy in place.

Inspection and Verification

The pharmacist oversees and supports personnel filling and verifying prescriptions at the remote location using a video/audio/data link over a network.

Images captured at the remote location allow the pharmacist to review, approve, and document all transactions.

Counseling and Patient Education

The pharmacist communicates with the patient through a video and audio link to provide personalized, real-time counseling, education, and motivation.

Remote Management

The pharmacist supervises inventory replenishment and overall remote pharmacy operations.

One pharmacist can support multiple remote facilities from a central location, promoting efficient and cost-effective use of pharmacy staff.

Advanced Pharmacy Staffing (APS) remote order processing and review pharmacy specializes in creating an extension of your pharmacy from a remote/extended location. Remote/extended pharmacy coverage is possible through technology that allows a pharmacist to be linked to the hospital through a telecommunications system.

APS has created a cost efficient strategy and formula to save you money while being compliant with The Joint Commission medication management standards. Our services are available during peak hours and after hours, providing 24 hour service seven days a week. We provide both staff and clinical pharmacists, whether it is order processing, clinical services, or both. Your patients will gain expanded safety and quality service, the hospital staff will gain expanded pharmacy support and increased time to devote to their respective patient care duties, while the hospital incurs only a fraction of the normal costs of pharmacy services.

Rxe-source pharmacy remote medication order review service

Rxe-source (“resource”) is a unique service from Cardinal Health designed to maintain continuity of service when your hospital pharmacy is closed or during periods of peak demand. This strategic tool can help you ensure the quality of patient care while also controlling costs.

New Flexibility in Pharmacy Coverage

Rxe-source generally saves hospitals 20% - 30% or more of what it would cost if the hospital were able to staff the overnight hours. Other financial benefits of the Rxe-source service include detailed information about the return on investment for the hospital in terms of what it would cost to staff the pharmacy, the avoided medication errors and the clinical interventions performed by the pharmacists at the Rxe-source pharmacy service center. The price for Rxe-source is determined by an assessment of your facility, which includes hours of service coverage and medication order volume. Other major pricing factors include average daily census, hospital computer system and method of connectivity. Once a hospital provides the information needed for our assessment, a price for Rxe-source can be determined based on a fee per month.

Our Focus: To Provide the best 24/7 Tele-Pharmacy service for the continuity of patient care

TelNet-Rx is an remote off-site medication order verification service that provides a cost-effective solution to facilities that are unable to operate a 24-hour pharmacy. The current Joint Commission standard MM 4.10 requires "All prescriptions or medication orders are reviewed for appropriateness." The Elements of performance for this standard state that in cases where the pharmacy is not open 24 hours, a healthcare professional determined to be qualified by the hospital reviews the medication order in the pharmacist's absence". For most hospitals, this is the nursing supervisor.

In addition, Joint Commission's standard MM. 4.50 states that the hospital "has a system for safely providing medications to meet patient needs". The Element of Performance for this standard states that the facility's chosen personnel for after-hours review must be "trained, designated nurses".

Based on recently proposed changes to the standards, the Joint Commission is moving toward a higher level of accountability for hospitals. Some facilities have already been cited because they have not demonstrated that their chosen after-hour healthcare professional has an "acceptable" level of qualifications.
