Datascan continues to look for ways to enhance its product line with the addition of new interfaces. One new interface announced is a partnership with RxTran to provide translation of 25 languages for both sig codes and drug monographs.

Another is an interface to its pharmacy management system with CoverMyMeds to speed up prior authorizations (PAs) for prescriptions requiring them. This interface allows the pharmacist to pick the exact PA form required by the third-party payer, and then automatically fills in some of the fields prior to sending the form to the physician to complete.

Also added to the most recent version of the Datascan system is software that allows pharmacists to easily look up and view documents such as a person’s driver’s license, insurance card, and other documents that have been scanned into the system. In beta test is an SMS text module that automates refill and pickup reminders.
