Is your pharmacy future ready?
Digital channels, switched-on consumers and an ageing population are some of the disruptive forces pharmacies are facing today.
These trends bring potential growth opportunities for your business but you need to be prepared for these changes which are happening now.
Play to your strengths for a more successful pharmacy
It’s easy to get distracted about what your competitors are doing and making the inevitable comparisons between your community pharmacy and larger operators. While it’s important to keep a watchful eye on what’s happening in the external environment, sometimes we neglect what it is that makes your particular business special.
Here are three steps to follow to make the most of your strengths and keep you focused on what’s important to customers about your business.
MedView Medicines Workspace – Bridging the gap between acute and community care
One of the key problems facing Australian health care professionals continues to be the lack of consolidated medications information and an inability to easily share information between health professionals. When patients move between community care and hospital and aged care, the absence of good quality and up to date clinical data can contribute to these interactions becoming high risk, resulting in medication misadventures and unnecessary hospital readmissions.
Making business easier with a ‘mission control’ view
Be in the driver’s seat of your pharmacy and put your business in the picture with the latest advances in Fred Office management software.
For Pharmacist Chris Thompson, operations manager of the Peak Pharmacy group now consisting of five pharmacies in the Geelong and Bellarine region in Victoria, the purchase of the second pharmacy in Newtown highlighted the need to be able to access reliable management data easily and quickly.
Ventura Health and Fred IT Group join forces to deliver world-class pharmacy systems
Retail pharmacy specialist Ventura Health and Fred IT are partnering to implement the Fred NXT cloud solution nationally, providing Ventura with long term competitive gains whilst also catering to the individual needs of its pharmacies.
As a multi-brand pharmacy resource centre, Ventura Health supports the diverse retail management and technology needs of more than 80 pharmacies, including Cincotta Discount Chemist, Mega Save Chemist, You Save Chemist, Max Value Pharmacy, Better Buy Pharmacy, and My Medical Pharmacy.
Getting into the flow – streamlining your pharmacy to save time and money
Pharmacists today face a dilemma. On the one hand they are facing increased economic pressures due to changes in the regulatory environment; but on the other hand, their workloads are generally the same or increasing, and their customers more demanding.
In this environment, it’s more important than ever that your systems and processes are running efficiently – in terms of time and money spent, while maintaining the same quality standards of patient care.
An uber awakening for pharmacy
The plight and success that Uber has seen shows that no industry is safe from disruption and any business or trade that thinks it can hide might do well to wake up.
Uber, the ride-sharing service that utilises its app to connect passengers to potential drivers in their area for a fraction of the cost of a traditional taxi ride, has dealt with a string of bad press. Yet the company has effectively disrupted the taxi industry, as well as changing people’s expectations of taxi services and pricing
Fred IT to release first phase of MedView Medicines Workspace in MyHR trial
