Interactive Voice Response
For years now, pharmacies have been looking for ways to minimize phone time and reduce the time spent manually keying in information. The Best Computer Systems (BCS) and other pharmacy technology companies have come up with a digital interactive voice response system that will help ease their troubles. The system is designed to interact with people through the use of voice and Dual Tone Multi-frequency signal (DTMF) ones input via keypad. The process allows the pc to input prescription orders by speech recognition of a human voice. In turn, this method frees the Pharmacists up for more detailed and focused work. FYI, the Pharmacist will still have to verify and finalized the order before filling and signing off on it.

Should you put your pharmacy in the “clouds”?
Cloud Pharmacy
Integration, integration, integration. Many companies are hesitant to venture out into the new integrated world of digital technology. In fact, quite a few companies I worked for in the past had this same mentality. In times past, it seemed to take an act of congress just to get anything of new-age technical introduced.
However, I can finally say that I’ve witnessed many new automated advancements come into play. In the most recent event I’ve seen three hospitals implement cloud computing for their pharmacies at their four hospital system. The new cloud computing allows each hospital to enter pharmacy orders for each other on any given day or time. This process has been a tremendous step in the right direction.

Successful Implementation of the New Paradigm for Medication Safety
Medication Safety
Healthcare IT is moving in the right direction for patient safety. We’ve heard and read about the horror stories where patients received the wrong medicine and the wrong dose that have led to devastating results. Finally the state board of Pharmacy has mandated all pharmacies operating under a license to be compliant and show what safety practices are in place for patient medication safety.

Often times we don’t take prescription drug abuse seriously. It has now gotten as serious as it could be. Thanks to companies like the RxDrugSAFE we can now rest assured that our loved ones are safe from our own mishaps with prescription medications.
