The high rate of electronic prescribing, rising drug costs and patient copays increase the likelihood of prescriptions being abandoned in the pharmacy. Smart will-call tools can help pharmacies proactively contact the patients most likely to abandon their prescriptions, allowing the pharmacy to improve time savings, drug inventory management and, most importantly, patient outcomes.
Thanks to collaborative development among Change Healthcare, InterLink AI, and a groundbreaking mutual customer, scripClip is easily added into the PMS functionality. With the simple click of a button on pharmacy workstation computers, personnel can check prescriptions into will-call and readily locate the right orders for the right patients at the point of sale.
“We provide better care by embracing technology,” said Prosperity Drug Company owner, John Pugh, PharmD, RPh. He illustrates that scripClip® was a worthwhile investment for him because it not only improves productivity in his pharmacy, but customers also see and feel the difference.
Section 179 of the US IRS tax code allows businesses like pharmacies to accelerate depreciation of qualifying equipment or software purchases, and deduct the full expense during the current tax year.
Innovation is the name of the game at InterLink AI. From hardware, to software, to supply chain, we’ve been taking scripClip tech to new heights to help your pharmacy level up.
Grove Park Pharmacy is one of, now, four Orange Cut Rate Drug Stores that got their start in South Carolina in 1934. Over nearly 90 years and three generations, the operation has grown, and the scripClip will-call automation system has become essential to their operation.
Although pharmacies aren’t directly awarded with Star Ratings from CMS like providers and health plans are, pharmacy-related measures have a big impact on patient outcomes – and the Star Ratings can have a big impact on the pharmacy’s bottom line.
Pharmacy customers and staff alike can benefit when pharmacies are equipped to provide more clinical services on site – saving patients an extra trip to the doctor, making it easier for them to get what they need at lower-cost sites of care, and generating more revenue in the pharmacy.
Kneeland’s Notes: If you want to improve your profit margins, perhaps you can find a way to charge for your unique services such as professional grade supplements, nutritional programs or smoking cessation classes. Like a donut shop, about how you present these services so they stand out, convey their value and justify the cost.
From Kneeland’s Notes: As a pharmacy owner or manager, you are faced with two marketing problems: 1. You need to carefully determine what new services you can profitably provide 2. You need to find cost-effective ways to build demand.
