Technology
State-of-the-art technology keeps Masonic Village Pharmacy running smoothly and efficiently, and we seek continuous improvement and innovation to provide the most up-to-date services with the lowest error rate.
- Electronic health record interfaces include PCC, Matrixcare/AOD, HealthMEDX, Netsmart my-Unity and QuikMAR
Automated workflow, for improved quality assurance, includes Parata multi-dose packaging, bar-coded workflow and a visual analyzer. Our pharmacy staff shared how automated adherence packaging is more efficient for providers and produces better outcomes for patients in a PharmaNewsIntelligence article and a DrugTopics article.
- Parata multi-dose compliance packaging features a seven-day supply, exchanged by a Masonic Village Pharmacy technician. Multi-dose packaging reduces medication errors by up to 8% and reduces med pass time. If requested, we can also do multidose blister cards.
- Bar-coded technology reduces filling errors at the pharmacy and helps nursing staff reduce errors with improper dosing and drug administration.
- Shorter day supplies lower facility charges by reducing the exposure to discontinued medications.
- Through our partnership with QS1 software, we are able to provide bi-directional communication via current NCPDP SCRIPT or HL7 interface that connects with numerous electronic health record systems, including PCC, MatrixCare and Netsmart.
- We use an automated dispensing system, BD Cubex, which allows for after-hours and urgent services.
