About Client
Our client is a leading pharmacy point-of- sale technology solutions provider in the USA for outpatient and retail pharmacies. Also, enterprise solutions are provided complying HIPAA rules that enable pharmacy owners to centrally manage the multiple store at different locations with no hassle.
Business Challenges
In the pharmacy stores, pharmacists make some suggestions for other medicines alongside the prescribed medications as a part of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) practices to optimize the medication use for improved patient outcomes.
If the pharmacist is experienced, then he can recommend the best medications to the patients based on medication usage or can help the patients in adverse events, otherwise it’s not possible.
Realizing the problem that pharmacies are facing, the client came up with an idea of creating an automated solution integrated with Pharmacy POS system to replace the manual recommendations with auto-generated suggestions.
Solution
The web application was developed using which, when pharmacists enter the medication in the POS, automatically the suggestions for supplement medications is displayed.
This way pharmacy can easily recommend the auto-generated products to their patients based on medication usage. Also, all the pharmacies account details, medicines’ detail, recommendation details and integration types are maintained.
The client can track whether any pharmacy is trying to break the therapy management software by using different IPs to look up for medications’ supplements.
