Case Study:
QS1
Moundsville Pharmacy becomes
model for synchronization
and adherence.
CASE STUDY
Moundsville Pharmacy is a retail pharmacy in
Moundsville, West Virginia, about 75 miles southwest
of Pittsburgh. Founded in 1981, the pharmacy
today is a model for prescription synchronization
and Medication Therapy Management (MTM).
Additional services include compounding, DME,
immunizations, diabetes education and a few
long-term care contracts.
Owner Jason Turner, Pharm.D., began his training
with pharmacy-mentor Roger Cole, R.Ph., at
Moundsville Pharmacy where he realized his passion
for independent pharmacy practice and business
ownership. Today, the operation of Moundsville
Pharmacy and the legacy of Cole continue through
the ef orts of Turner and his team of pharmacists
and technicians.
The pharmacy utilizes QS/1®’s NRx® Pharmacy
Management and Point-of-Sale Systems to manage
operations.
In 2014, after expanding their prescription
synchronization program and recognizing the
importance of ef cient pharmacy workf ow, Turner’s
goal was to take the pharmacy to the next level. “At
the time, I thought we may need a new pharmacy
management system – one with more bells and
whistles,” said Turner. “But after looking at some other
systems and talking with QS/1, I learned it wasn’t the
software that lacked the bells and whistles, it was the
way we were using the system or, I should say, not
using the system.” With some support from QS/1,
Moundsville Pharmacy developed a strategy for
better workf ow performance.
Moundsville Pharmacy becomes model
for synchronization and adherence
For the patient, you are off ering a better model for the prescription refi ll
process, which results in healthier outcomes, improved quality of life and
convenience, as well as greater customer satisfaction.
