The writing’s on the wall: technology is revolutionizing the way pharmacies provide services. Fortunately, as a pharmacist, you can take advantage of these advances to improve your services and increase customer satisfaction. At ComputerTalk For The Pharmacist, we always have a finger on the pulse of the pharmaceutical tech industry, and today we’re showcasing four ways technology can boost your pharmacy’s capabilities to the next level.
Automate Refill Requests
By taking advantage of automated refill requests, pharmacies can quickly and accurately manage patient refill requests. This not only saves time, but also eliminates the need for manual processing and reduces human errors. Automated refill requests also provide pharmacists with an improved understanding of how often a patient needs medication, helping themyou better manage inventory and minimize costs.
Leverage Electronic Prescribing
Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) allows pharmacies to receive prescriptions electronically, optimizing a task that’s traditionally tiresome and tedious. E-prescribing also allows for better communication between pharmacies and physicians, resulting in faster, more accurate prescription delivery. Not sure what this looks like in practice?

Enhance Patient Education
Technology can be used to provide patients with useful information about their medications. For example, your pharmacy can create videos, presentations, or interactive websites to educate your patients about the proper use of medications. This can help your patients better understand their prescriptions and make better decisions about their health care.
Optimize Workflow
With the assistance of technology, your pharmacy can optimize its workflow, resulting in more efficient operations. For example, software can be employed to automate tasks such as inventory management and order processing. This can help you streamline your pharmacy’s routine processes and provide a more succinct and successful experience for your employees and customers.
These are just a few of the ways technology can help your pharmacy provide better services, but we assure you that the possibilities are endless. To stay in the loop about all the newest solutions, follow ComputerTalk For The Pharmacist!
