Nebraska Medicine, health center pharmacy leader, is implementing a scripClip-integrated Central Fill solution to streamline the process of dispensing and packaging prescriptions, while alleviating the burden on outpatient pharmacy staff and affording more time to spend with patients.
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.
“Ask anyone on staff – of anything in the pharmacy, they’ll say, ‘don’t get rid of scripClip!’” said Maggy Lawson, Pharm.D., RPh, pharmacy manager at Kubat HealthCare in Beatrice, Nebraska.
InterLink AI and American Associated Pharmacies (AAP), one of the nation’s leading group purchasing organizations, entered a preferred partnership agreement to offer best-in-class scripClip™ pharmacy will-call automation solutions to nearly 2,500 independent pharmacy members.
There are two main reasons Greg Bowles, Ph.T, associate director of pharmacy at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, sleeps better at night, having the scripClip™ system: “time management and patient safety.”
The right will-call automation solution can help streamline inventory management, strengthen operational efficiency, elevate your customer and staff experience, and improve patient health. In other words, the right will-call solution can give your pharmacy the one thing you need most: time.
Pugh says that if he ever took the system out he is sure some of his employees would be upset and give him a serious “talking too.” “They love the system,” he says. And then he says, “As for me, saving time, impressing patients and pleasing my staff makes scripClip a sound investment.”
InterLink AI’s scripClip, pick-to-light, will-call bin system has been deployed at Nebraska Medicine’s flagship outpatient pharmacy, which has just completed a major expansion and remodeling with the new technology.
The scripClip system, in concert with their pharmacy management system, lets the pharmacy staff know if there are multiple bags for a particular person, or, if there are other prescriptions filled for other members of that person’s family.
Mark Vogler, RPh, is the owner of Martin-Tipton Pharmacy in Amarillo, TX. He says scripClip has allowed him to reduce the number of bags in his will-call bin from 400 to 300. Two metrics alone, he says, more than justify the cost of the system.
