Interest in clinic dispensing has never been greater. Practitioners of all varieties are looking for ways to enhance their practices and pharmaceutical dispensing is one of a number of simple-to-implement options.
How easy is it? For Northwind, the process looks like this:
- Develop formulary (new clinics normally select 15-25 medications to begin with)
- Complete new clinic startup forms
- Submit forms and copies of licensure.
- Place order for medications (call, email, fax or online)
Once you receive your order (usually in a few days), you can implement as quickly as you like.
- Unpack and store medications.
- If you are using our dispensing logbook, simply enter the patient name, instructions and sign. The carbon label is peeled and place on the bottle; the record of the dispense is left on your logbook.
- If you are using RxTracker (our web-based dispensing application), you will need to enter the patient name (once), scan the medication and print the label. The software is accessed through a web-browser.
That's it! No extra staff. No need for more space. No need for counting pills; we provide prepackaged medications that are ready to be handed to the patient. Any questions?
Happy dispensing!
