Pharmacy Manager

Pharmacy Manager is the established market leading dispensary management system. It's used in more UK pharmacies than any other Windows® based system due to its' speed, reliability and resilience, which provide the foundations for new functionality that allow pharmacists to fully embrace the essential, enhanced and advanced services of the new contract.

Pharmacy Manager puts patients first. Along with Knowledge Base, you can help your patients to be more informed and make sure that they take their medication safely.

The software enables you to maximise claims and provide you with information and analysis that will enable you to make quicker, better informed business decisions, giving you a healthier pharmacy business.

Medicines Use Review

The Medicines Use Review (MUR) is the first advanced service within the new community pharmacy contract to undertake a structured review with patients receiving medicines for long term conditions, to establish a picture of their use of the medicines. The review will help patients to understand the therapy, identify side-effects and changes that may be beneficial.

Pharmacy Manager makes it as quick and easy as possible for pharmacists to plan, execute and print the required paperwork whilst consulting with the patient, due to the implementation of support for MUR’s within the system.

Intervention Recording

An intervention is an action that requires you to interrupt your routine dispensing activity to resolve an issue that usually surrounds one or more items on a prescription.

Intervention records should be made as soon as possible after the event has occurred. This enables the recording of details to be more accurate. Pharmacy Manager uses a wizard - a logical step-by-step approach - to streamline the process, making the recording process as straight-forward as possible.

Maximise Claims

Pharmacy Manager's automatic endorsing includes broken bulk tracking, which was designed to maximise legitimate claims. Not only this, but Tariff Tips will remind you when you can claim for additional fees or expenses.

Label Quickly

Producing accurate labels quickly remains a fundamental part of an efficient dispensary. With Pharmacy Manager, a flexible dispensing screen enables you to work in the way that you want.

Whether you are dispensing electronic labels, or traditional prescriptions, labels are produced in seconds. Not only this, but they can be repeated quickly from a patient's history. All of this is easy to do, using a graphic interface that can be controlled by mouse, keyboard or a combination of the two.

Buy Better

Pharmacy Manager's flexible re-ordering algorithms are designed to give you maximum coverage against demand from minimal stock levels.

Your preferred items are always ordered from the suppliers you choose, even if you rely heavily on locums thanks to its 'best buy' code which supports brand equalisation deals and dispensing policies.

Orders can be transmitted to all major suppliers, either via modem or paperless fax. You can even carry on dispensing while orders are sent in the background.

Efficient Homes

For patients in care homes, Pharmacy Manager uses details of the previous period to quickly generate prescription details. The standard dispensing screen is used to make minor changes between periods with convenience and ease of use. MAR charts and cassette sheets can be printed on to a wide selection of specialist stationery, or if you prefer, plain A4 paper.

Business Analysis

Accessing valuable information about your patients, along with items you have dispensed and your dispensary stock is made easy thanks to Pharmacy Manager. Because this information is so easy to access, it allows for quick and accurate business decisions.

Put Patients First

You will be able to encourage your patients to take their medication more effectively and develop their loyalty to your pharmacy thanks to automatic concordance checking, abnormal dose checks, interaction alerts and personalised leaflets.

Updates

Pharmacy Manager's fast and reliable product file is both produced and maintained by Cegedim Rx. This means it contains the data and business rules that are used every time an item is dispensed, ordered or endorsed.

You can be confident that your system is always using current data, and you don't need to spend your valuable time running update disks thanks to Pharmacy Manager's fully automated overnight electronic data update service.

This automated update process also keeps Knowledge Base up-to-date with daily updated news and information.
