PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME
When a long-term care (LTC) or closed-door pharmacy partners with a healthcare
facility, a federally mandated requirement obligates the pharmacy to provide
medications to that facility within a certain amount of time. To remain in compliance,
the LTC pharmacy must be able to respond at any time of day. The process of
fulflling this requirement can be challenging for these pharmacies, both fnancially
and logistically.
TracRx™, a secure, web-based portal by Care Services, parent company of MedCallRx
and GeriScriptRx, allows LTC pharmacies to schedule backup medication fulfllment
and delivery and provides visibility into the entire process – from order placement to
point of delivery (POD) signature. Powerful analysis reporting identifes trends in
drug use and provides opportunities to improve operational performance and
manage costs.
THE CHALLENGE
When a LTC pharmacy receives a stat or after-hours drug request, the need usually
involves an urgent situation where a patient may be unable to wait until the next
scheduled delivery to receive medications. In these situations, the drug may not be
available in a facility’s on-site emergency kit or dispensing unit, and the industry
practice for emergency medication delivery is less than four hours, or at the next
scheduled dose.
