ASAP2014

The American Society for Automation in Pharmacy (ASAP) recently held its midyear conference, offering a wide range of relevant pharmacy topics. The confer-

ence was well attended and well received.

In listening to the speakers, I couldn’t help but appreciate the changing landscape of healthcare in this country. Federal

government legislation is a contributor, no question. Take the conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10; this is going to cause reimbursement problems for all pro-viders. The speaker on this topic confirmed my feelings on this. Pharmacy will be affected, with billing for DME products. ICD-10 codes are far more granu-lar than ICD-9 codes — they are not of the unspecified nature commonly used now in pharmacy. This speaker’s recommendation was that pharmacy providers should contact physicians for the ICD-10 codes for their patients prior to the Oct. 1, 2015, conversion date so they can update their systems.

Track and trace was another topic covered, and here too there are going to be a number of challenges for pharmacies, once this gets rolling. Initially, it is going to add a paperwork burden, and managing inventory will take on more com-plexity. There will be additional product identifiers to enable tracing a product through the supply chain. One outcome is that pharmacies not currently using barcode scanners will find that these are necessary. The legislation requires HHS to hire a consulting firm to assess the cost to smaller pharmacies, defined as having fewer than 25 full-time employees. This may show that it is prohibi-tively expensive for these pharmacies to comply. How this plays out remains to be seen.

Another topic that I found interesting was on prescriptive authority and prescriber verification. Here the message was the importance of maintaining a clean and current prescriber file in the pharmacy system, in order to avoid penalties incurred by dispensing prescriptions from unauthorized prescribers. This is something that is coming under closer scrutiny by all those reimbursing for prescriptions.

There was also a very informative presentation on how community pharmacy is positioned to take on the role of specialty pharmacy. And the topic of medi-cation synchronization featured a number of new ideas on how to implement such a program and profit from it.

All told, the speakers at this conference were well versed in their subject matter and delivered quality content.

ASAP holds two conferences a year, one in January and the other in June. They are short events, to minimize time away from the office.

If you have been toying with the idea of attending, my suggestion is to try one. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. CT

Medicine-On-Time

Compliance. Adherence. Persistence. The terminology may vary, but the concept is the same. The right pill in the right patient at the right time — every time — over the full course of treatment. As you well

know, high levels of compliance are associated with better health outcomes and lower overall healthcare costs; low levels of compliance are associated with increased morbid-ity and mortality and much higher overall healthcare costs.

Compliance Has Value

Compliance has value. And as a result, compliance is a natural business oppor-tunity for the community pharmacy. But how do you go about establishing an

effective and profitable compliance program in your phar-macy? The answer is Medicine-On-Time.

Medicine-On-Time’s specific brand of compliance pro-vides proven protection against nursing home admissions, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits. Medicine-On-Time prolongs independence and provides convenience and peace of mind to your retail ambulatory customers.

Turnkey Program

For 25 years we’ve been teaching phar-macists how to make compliance a profit center in their pharmacies — generating fees separate and apart from the reim-

bursement on drugs.

Medicine-On-Time is often compared to compounding. It’s neither traditional retail dispensing, nor is it traditional institutional dispensing.

We provide the system — computer hardware and software, efficiency tools, comprehensive training, and marketing support — in a complete turnkey package. Only $395 up-front gets you started. Less than 25 patients will get you past break-even.

Ahead of the Curve

Medicine-On-Time pharmacies have been multidosing since the USP created stan-dards back in the 1980s. Medicine-On-Time pharmacies have been synchroniz-

ing refills for decades. Medicine-On-Time pharmacies have been distributing charting forms via secure email for years. And now, Medicine-On-Time pharmacies can send text-message reminders to patients and caregivers via their cell phones. Join our pharmacy network, and your phar-macy will be ahead of the curve, too.

Powerful and Infinitely Flexible

Medicine-On-Time is powered by robust workflow software that integrates seam-lessly with the top pharmacy manage-ment systems (PharmaServe, QS/1, HBS,

Lagniappe Pharmacy Services, Rx30, etc.), or it can be used independently, as a stand-alone system.

With Medicine-On-Time your pharmacy won’t be tied to one dispensing format like other systems. You have the option to dispense in a weekly format with up to five administration times in a single card. Or in a monthly format with up to 35 days in a single card. There’s even a sequential format for single drug PRN or Stat therapies. Medicine-On-Time software can accommodate even the most challenging and complex dose schedules.

Do you need a cycle anchored to a specific day of the month? Or a specific day of the week? Medicine-On-Time has you covered. Cycle length can be fixed or variable — specific to a patient, a group of patients, or universal throughout the system.

When your customer says, “Can you…?” Say “Yes!” with Medicine-On-Time.

The Opportunity

Of course, the largest market for Medicine-On-Time is the independent ambulatory population — seniors living at home, at risk for institutionalization.

Many of these folks are already customers of your phar-macy. But Medicine-On-Time is welcomed in many other populations, too, helping you capture the most heavily medicated segments of your market and turning them into loyal pharmacy customers.

Other targets include assisted-living facilities and small group homes for the elderly; group homes for adolescents; group homes or community training homes for the men-tally disabled; private home care agencies that oversee medication administration; HIV/AIDS clinics; local hospi-tal discharge planners (to reduce readmission rates for their patients); adult daycare centers; adult foster care agencies; therapeutic foster care agencies (for children and adoles-cents); school districts; summer camp programs; PACE programs; and veterinarians.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line: For $395 per month (plus tax) and about 50 cents per pre-scription (disposable packaging cost), Medicine-On-Time can be the cor-nerstone of a successful compliance

program in your pharmacy. What are you waiting for? Visit medicine-on-time.com today. Join our growing network of proud progressive community pharmacies.

Robotic Counting and Dispensing Pharmacy Technology

RxMedic®

The RM64® From RxMedicRM64 is the fastest robotic dispensing system available on the market, filling five prescriptions a min-ute. With RM64, pharmacists can not only easily increase their prescription volume capacity; they can increase the amount of time they and their staff have to spend with their customers. Increasing both their business and the level of service they can offer are significant wins for any pharmacist, but RM64 gives a pharmacy even more than time. RM64 counts multiple prescriptions simultaneously, dispensing them directly into the vial, eliminating cross-contamination and air quality issues. Filled prescriptions are within easy reach for pickup and checkout via the intuitive touch screen. Restocking inventory takes just three keystrokes, and a drug can be changed by pharmacy personnel on-site in less than 10 minutes.

RM64 combines speed with accuracy, quality, and safety like never before, automating dispensing for up to 64 of the top drugs in a pharmacy, with a space-saving footprint.

The Fastest Robotic Dispensing Solution In Pharmacy.

Simultaneously counts multiple medications in scalable, space-saving designs that support 12 to 96 oral solid medications. ACS can precount minimum quantities and offers a fast, fully documented return-to-stock feature, as well as storing digital images of vial con-tents. Dispense filled prescriptions in any order by simply scanning the prescription label. ACS dispenses the drug directly into the labeled vial. Choose an ACS that fits your workflow: countertop, endcap, or freestanding. ACS supports barcode scanning and has lockable cells for additional security.

Fully robotic dispensing of up to 256 different oral solid medications, with built-in drug verification photos, cap

application, and cells that auto-matically calibrate, makes it easy

for a pharmacy to change out drugs on-site in minutes. ADS selects the appropriate-sized vial, prints and applies

the label, then counts and dis-penses pills. Before capping,

it stores a digital image of vial contents. A large, configurable 200+ prescription collating area supports overnight operations. Each ADS cell counts and dis-

penses drugs directly into the vial, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination. ADS uses a unique vacuum technology and HEPA filtration to pro-vide unprecedented air quality.

RxMedic ADS® Robot RxMedic ACS® Counting Solution

Whether you’re looking for the power of robotics or an automated pill counter, RxMedic has the perfect dispensing solution for you.

All RxMedic solutions interface with any pharmacy management system, further increasing productivity, efficiency, and profitability. And all are backed by renowned, nationwide customer service and support, including our exclusive immediate remote support via in-system video capabilities, on-site services, and 24/7 toll-free customer telephone support.

CompletePac™

CompletePac™ simplifies adherence for pharmacies and staff by incorporating unit- dose or multi-med pouches into a single pass-time-specific pouch. Organizing oral and non-oral meds into a single bag, it is designed for patients admitted midcycle, LOAs, outpatient surgery centers, or hospital discharges until patients see their pharmacy care provider.

TCGRxYour partner for reliable, accurate, and cost-effective pharmacy solutions.

AdherePac™

The AdherePac™ solution offers a multi-med or unit-dose pouch with customizable printing. The pouches have a serrated edge, making them easy to open. The pouches offer barcode capability for bedside scanning, as well as reminder bags for non-oral medications.

Inventory ManagementBeacon® provides perpetual inventory management down to the bottle and pill level using light-guided, barcode-validated technology to reduce errors. With options for secure med storage, pharmacist prescription verification, and will-call, Beacon can be tailored to meet the operational and budget needs of any pharmacy. With the touch of a button, Beacon accurately reports in real time when each bottle expires, how many pills are in the bottle, where the bottle is located, unopened bottles, will-call items, and diversion information.

HDStock™ from TCG is a high-density storage system that takes up one-third of the space of traditional bookshelf-style storage. HDStock offers multiple configurations to fit your pharmacy’s needs. Features of the HDStock include a locking mechanism for diversion control and built-in, pull-out step shelves. HDStock easily upgrades to integrate with Beacon.

voiceTech

In today’s technological world, every segment of health-system pharmacy — university, hospital, public, and private — has to offer customer convenience and adher-ence tools via telephone, Web, and mobile in order to efficiently serve its specific population. At voiceTech we created fusion-Rx, which is our brand of phar-macy growth solutions, to address this challenge. Our Customer Convenience offering provides 24/7 access to the pharmacy for those patients who are proactively compliant with their medications, but in addition to that one-way street of helping patients contact the pharmacy, our Star Adherence platform automatically reaches out to patients for a myriad of reasons, such as refill and pickup reminders, health awareness messaging, appoint-ment scheduling, clinic announcements, and educational messages about their medication. Even a happy birthday greeting makes the list!

Studies consistently show that engaging with patients at the pharmacy level, to help influence their medication adherence and lifestyle behaviors, has a positive impact on the healthcare industry overall. And simply put, voiceTech is here to assist health-system pharma-cies meet this challenge! The end goal of this communication is to help patients better manage their health by making informed decisions that lead to a positive and cost-effective outcome.

voiceTech has been providing inbound IVR technology solutions to large- and small-chain, independent, and health-system pharmacies across the board for nearly two decades with our legacy IVR system. With IVR as a ground floor, voiceTech has designed pharmacy pro-ductivity and adherence applications for all segments of health-system pharmacy, often with multiple sites and central fill or mail order as part of the mix. Now, with our next generation IVR and adherence platforms, which are the core engines to our entire fusion-Rx suite of solutions, it is our goal to enhance the experi-ence patients have with health-system pharmacies, thus increasing customer loyalty, as well as job satisfaction of the pharmacy staff. In addition to our proven inbound IVR technology offerings, we’ve expanded our products and services that facilitate outbound/proactive messag-ing to patients, whether by text, email, phone, or mobile app. These outbound services are driven by an intelligent, thinking engine that analyzes patients’ prescription data in order to determine if they are being compliant, and to determine the level of reminder and awareness messaging that might be required. This messaging is then delivered by a patient’s preferred method. Using this data engine, pharmacies can target specific groups of patients who are taking a certain medication or have a specific disease state, and send messages only to those patients. There can be any number of reasons to proactively reach out to patients, and voiceTech’s technology solutions, whether local or cloud based, provide the means to efficiently and effectively accomplish these tasks. Additionally, it’s been documented throughout industry publications that out-bound communication increases adherence — and every-one benefits in the end.

Your patients are waiting to hear from you!

EHRs Can Pose Patient Safety RisksA recent research report points out numerous patient safety issues associated with electronic health records (EHRs), in spite of evidence supporting the use of EHR systems to improve overall health-care safety and outcomes.

George’s Corner

I Am a Gadget NutIt seems that every day I see an an-nouncement of a new gadget (some-times several). The big change in the last few months is the prevalence of new health-related gadgets. Apple, Google, Motorola, and a lot of smaller names are talking about gadgets and software that have the potential to totally upset (or revolutionize) healthcare.

Technology Corner Is a Vendor-Driven Market a Bad Thing?Many pharmacists are so “in the weeds,” in that they are being consumed by the daily minutia of their operations, that we think it may be time for vendors to take a stronger position that will help prepare the profession to face a very different healthcare future.

The Intersection of Technology and Management

The Front Door Makes a Poor Drive-Thru: Crisis Recovery with Handheld POSSome disasters you can see coming, such as a storm tracking to hit your town, and some you can hardly believe. Pharmacist Brad Stultz found himself facing the latter sort one afternoon this past May when a customer accidentally drove straight into the front of his Flatwoods, Ky., store.

Collaborate and Connect: How Integration Drives Modern Care ModelsTimely data flow is coming to play an ever more central role, as new patient care models such as ACOs require pharmacy to be prepared to collaborate efficiently with a range of other providers. Find out how Grane Rx and Senior LIFE are building on a partnership with integration provider BlueStep/BridgeGate Health to create the technol-ogy needed to successfully serve Programs of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) sites in Pennsylvania.

Refresher on HIPAA and HITECHMany aspects of pharmacy practice have been shaped by HIPAA and HITECH requirements. Two areas that have recently emerged as potential threats to privacy and security are phar-macy apps and pharmacist-patient interactions outside of the pharmacy counter.
