Pharmacies and EDM
The pharmacy industry has the potential to be extremely paper-intensive. Multiple faxes, illegible requests, and keying difficulties historically have led to significant inefficiencies and at times have compromised patient health. As organizations embrace technology to simplify their processing abilities, they quickly realize that the adoption electronic document management (EDM) software simplifies and expedites processes for prescribers and dispensers. In optimizing patient care and facilitating the ability to do more work with less staff, it more than pays for itself.
EDM offers pharmacies the following benefits:
- Barcode technology
- Scanning and imaging
- Web access
- Electronic Forms capabilities
- Automation
- Print/Fax Server
- Audit trails and accountability
- Electronic archival and retrieval
- Formulary and benefit information, prior authorization, and medication history available at the click of a mouse
