Infinipharm can help turn your pharmacy into a lean, mean, prescription processing machine.
While making your patients and employees happier all the while.
Manual vs Virtual Verification
Virtual prescription verification can help transform your pharmacy, even if it is a pharmacy with an on-site pharmacist. Manual prescription verification slows down the verification process and creates more busy work.
Although different workflows may vary, on average, the typcial pharmacist can save between 30%-50% of the time they spend verifying prescriptions manually by virtually checking them. Not to mention mistakes tend to decrease.
Let's compare the two methods:
Manual Verification
-
Pharmacist essentially performs four steps:
- Pharmacist physically searches for bag or basket with prescription
- Scans any items involved, including the label
- Verifies the accuracy of the prescription
- Prescription is placed back in bag or basket for the technician to conitnue the process
-
Efficacy and efficiency decrease due to:
- Technician is held-up by the verification process
- Bags or baskets piling up and becoming cluttered
- It is easier for the pharmacist to lose focus on the patient and their needs, due to the need to move on to the next pile of prescriptions
Virtual Verification
-
Pharmacist essentially performs two steps to complete the verification process:
- Pharmacist digitally searches for the prescription, which they find and open within seconds.
- Verifies the accuracy of the prescription by utilizing imaging taken by the technician and approves it
-
Technicians are able to continue to bag the prescription and place it in will-call to await approval
-
Everyone is less stressed and has a more positive experience
The Snowball Effect
The clear winner is virtual prescription verification, and it is like a snowball effect:
-
As the pharmacist spends more time with the patient, patient satisfaction most often increases.
-
As patient satisfaction increases, so does patient retention and acquisition. Happy patients are much more likely to recommend a pharmacy where they have had a positive experience.
-
As stress levels decrease for employees, their service to patients most often improves.
-
Last but not least, with more time to spend with patients, pharmacists are able to better focus on the needs of patients.
Your pharmacy could be adding $1,000's a year in value and savings by utilizing Infinipharm's virtual verification ability.
