The Leader in Pharmacy Point-of-Sale Innovation

EvolutionPOS™ for Pharmacy, the next wave of efficiency.

When patients are discharged, do they fill their scripts in your pharmacy?

[email protected]

Introducing EvolutionPOS.

A special advantage for hospital

pharmacies.

Most hospitals capture a small

portion of their inpatient discharge

prescriptions. The consequences

include reduced patient compliance,

elevated risk of recurrence and

readmission, and lost revenue

and margins.

EvolutionPOS makes it practical to

turn those risks into competitive

advantages. Dispatch pharmacy staff

right to the patient’s room. Rather than

having family members queue up at

the pharmacy window, you can offer

unprecedented convenience for their

transactions.

Retail Management Solutions introduces the next generation pharmacy POS.

You will gain efficiencies, flexibility and savings with EvolutionPOS.TM

It places all the register functions in your hands. Scanner, card terminal, printer, signature capture and inventory.

The portable, handheld terminal communicates with your POS server, immediately, wirelessly and securely. One device accomplishes customer check-out, recordkeeping and inventory functions, including:

• Interfacingwithyourprescriptionsystem • Trackingbybarcode • Electronicsignaturecaptureandaudittrail • Paymentprocessing,includingFSAeligibility • Receiptsprovidedviaemail or printed on the spot • ScanandsellOTCsaswell

Our complete suite of inventory, ordering and back-end management tools are available at your back-office workstation. You probably won’t mind that EvolutionPOS costs less than conventional POS systems.

Discover the benefits for your pharmacy. Call us to discuss the best fit for your needs.

2011

This past year I heard two interesting presentations. One was on the national health plan ID (NHPI), a new identifier that was written into the HIPAA

regulations for health plans. CMS will be issuing a proposed rule shortly on who will be required to obtain and use the NHPI. Suffice it to say, many of the players in healthcare, including the health plans, are not happy about this new identifier. It’s another change that will cost money to implement. Pharmacy, in particular, has made known its feelings that the BIN and PCN should still be allowed for routing pharmacy claims, rather than the NHPI. Another recommendation from pharmacy is that prescription benefit cards show the NHPI instead of the current issuer identi-fication, and that the BIN and PCN continue to be shown as well.

Where it may become a little complicated is with coordination of benefits and the information that is transmitted to the pharmacy from the primary payer. If there is a secondary payer involved and the primary knows this, will the primary be required to send the NHPI rather than the BIN and PCN for routing of the secondary claim? If this is the case, the pharmacy will need a way of getting the BIN and PCN for that plan, assuming CMS will recognize the BIN and PCN for routing pharmacy claims. We will just have to wait for the proposed rule to see where CMS goes with all this.

The other presentation was on health information exchanges (HIEs). The speaker was responsible for formation and implementation of the Delaware Health Informa-tion Network, the first operational statewide clinical health information exchange in the country. While the concept of an HIE might seem pretty straightforward, getting one started is not as easy as it sounds. Selling the stakeholders on the benefits is the first hurdle. There are issues with patient matching when data is being shared. There are interoperability issues when different standards and codes are used. Then there is the cost associated with participation in order to provide operating revenue for the exchange.

What I found interesting is that pharmacy is not represented in this HIE. One reason is the developers of the HIE didn’t want to build point-to-point interfaces with each pharmacy. Moreover, the HIE is gaining access to prescriptions from a third-party aggregator, which includes prescriptions being fed to it from Surescripts.

Getting prescription information from other sources certainly lessens the motiva-tion to press for pharmacy participation. However, pharmacy would benefit from having access to lab test results and diagnoses, two missing ingredients to round out medication therapy management.

But the cost to participate may be a barrier for pharmacy. There will have to be an equitable compensation model in place before pharmacy embraces clinical services in a big way and can justify the cost of an HIE. Bottom line: Until pharmacy sees solid revenue potential from MTM, I think we are going to see more lip service than action when it comes to participation in an HIE. CT

dispenses pills. Before capping, it photographs and stores a digital

image of vial contents. A large, configurable 200-prescription collating area supports overnight operations and holds completed scripts for pharmacist verification.

ADS combines ultraclean, vacuum-based pill dispensing and HEPA filtration to remove

dust from the pharmacy air and prevent cross-contamination. ADS

interfaces with pharmacy management systems and supports barcode scanning. ADS can be configured with lockable cells to provide additional security.

Key Features

Quick and user-friendly report-generating ability in the back office.

Ease of use for frontline employees (cashiers).

All locations communicate back to the main office, so data is easily accessible.

RxGENESYS features: Multisite prescription filling.

Accounts receivable, online refill module, workflow management, interface with Retail Management Solutions point of sale.

EnterpriseRx safety features: pre-scription scanning, pill imaging, barcode scanning, and customized alerts such as high dose and sound-alike/look-alike.

Also, inventory management, automatic replenishment, and elec-tronic prescribing.

Innovative design, flexible functionality, and user-defined programming.

Capable of controlling mul-tiple inventories and automated inventory selection based upon established patient profile criteria, enhancing 340B selection and inventory controls.

Uniquely designed and customiz-able report functions enabling enhanced data mining and analysis to improve clinical decision making and clinician collaboration.

A key feature is the capability to create subdivisions within any insurance carrier PBM, enabling the highest level of analysis specific to unique patient populations.

QS/1’s workflow has evolved over time, includes barcode scanning for added safety and accuracy, and is user-friendly. The ability to send QS/1 IVR, Web or mobileRx refill requests directly into workflow also increases efficiency in the pharmacies. New sort and filter options allow for customized, easy viewing of drug and patient scans. Pharmacy at a Glance provides a quick dashboard to see where priorities are and helps managers redirect resources to those areas.

The ability to interface with the pharmacy system and update it with the dates/times that scripts are picked up by the customer.

The inventory process for front-end merchandise. Our finance staff likes the abil-ity to generate reports on all pharmacies from their office that’s off-site of all pharmacy locations.

Prescriptions are filled, labeled, and capped. Multiple prescriptions for the same patient are kept together by the last name. A picture of the contents of the prescription vial is taken to check for accuracy and saved as a part of the patient history.The price was within the range of the other two we were looking at.
