The growing world has growing needs. As demand increases, every field needs to be systematic in its management, and the same thing applies to Hospital and Pharmacy management. In recent times, due to an unusual hike in demand for hospital amenities, hospitals are forced to think How to Modernize their Hospital Management system with well-designed software.
Pharmacies are a vital part of major Hospitals and need to be as systematic as hospitals. Hospital Pharmacy sections and individual Pharmacy stores realized the need for dedicated software that helps manage everything easily.
Why do Pharmacies need to Integrate with Hospital Management Software?
Medical treatment is not only about clinical diagnosis and prescription; medication plays a vital role in a patient’s treatment. Normally, patients buy their prescribed medicines from their known and nearby pharmacy stores, but sometimes doing so can have variations in medications due to ignorance or mistakes by pharmacists.
Knowing the patient’s Medical history, Treatment history, and Doctor’s diagnosis is a must for a pharmacy store to sell the medications. That’s the reason most of the Hospitals have their own pharmacy stores to avoid such mishaps. Also, this becomes very convenient for patients to get everything from a single place.
But, the major challenge is to manage such a big pharmacy section for a huge number of patients with an accurate history of each patient. That’s why Pharmacies need to integrate with Hospital Management Softwares to get each and every detail on a centralized platform before giving medication to patients.
7 Major Pharmacy Management Features:
Customized Reports
Pharmacies need customized reports showing all In & Out for a specific time period. Even Pharmacies may need patient-wise customized medication reports.
E-prescriptions
E-prescription makes the process easier for pharmacies to get the information about the prescribed medication before patients reach them and is very useful for record-keeping.
Inventory and Stock Management
Pharmacies can’t afford stock out position, and that is why they need to have a proper Inventory tracking and management system to keep all the medical items and equipment available as and when prescribed.
Vendor Management
Whenever Pharmacies need to order stocks, they need the delivery on an urgent basis where they can’t afford the research for vendors. Each Vendor is important for them; hence ask for a Vendor Management system for Uninterrupted and Faster supply.
SMS Alert and Notification
SMS alerts and Notifications to the Pharmacy section and the patient make the process easier and avoid negligence issues.
Multi Locational Store Management
If pharmacies operate multiple locations, they all need to be centralized to manage everything.
Centralized User Management
All the access to each person in the pharmacy can be dangerous sometimes. Pharmacies have to be cautious about the accessibility of users. That’s the reason they need a centralized user management system.
