Telepharmacy Solutions' outpatient point-of-care medication management systems provide compelling benefits to pharmacists, patients, health care providers and payors, irrespective of whether implemented as a cost control tool, an additional profit center, or an additional service to patients.
Reduced Total Delivered Drug Cost
By increasing generic utilization and enhancing formulary compliance, Telepharmacy Solutions technology reduces total delivered drug costs.
Minimal Brick & Mortar Investments
Telepharmacy Solutions technology lowers the fixed cost required to establish an outpatient point-of-care "virtual" pharmacy by eliminating the need for "brick & mortar" investment, minimizing the square footage required and by needing only 20% of the prescription volume normally required by a traditional pharmacy to reach profitability.
Enhanced Access, Safety & Care
Patients also greatly benefit from the use of ADDS systems through increased and more convenient access to prescription and OTC medications, directly provided pharmacist consultation and greater medication safety, as Telepharmacy Solutions technology utilizes state-of-the-art, proprietary software, which effectively reduces the incidence of drug interactions and/or prescription filling errors.
Reduced Total Healthcare Costs
Studies indicate that 20% to 40% of all written prescriptions are never filled. Telepharmacy Solutions outpatient point-of-care medication management system cost and care effectively facilitates convenient prescription dispensing, as well as improves patient compliance via pharmacist controlled, onsite prescription dispensing and pharmaceutical consultation. Patients who, due to inconvenience, or lack of time and/or transportation, previously did not get their prescriptions filled, now receive the full continuum of pharmaceutical care that their provider had intended. Patients who follow their physician prescribed medication regimen are less likely to encounter relapses and complications, which in turn lowers overall health care costs.
New Profit Centers
Many outpatient care locations lack the prescription volume to financially support a traditional pharmacy, which results in loss of potential income that could be generated via point-of-care prescription dispensing. ADDS technology captures revenues and profits previously lost due to unfilled, or outsourced outpatient prescriptions right at the point of outpatient care.
Meeting Drug Sample Related Certification Standards
Hospitals/Health care providers who deploy Drug Sampling from Telepharmacy Solutions, are able to control their drug samples and fully comply with Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) requirements.
