Use of technology in
pharmacy management
Barcode medicine identification
• Barcode identification of medicines has been used to
reduce medicine administration errors, as well as improve
the completeness of the medication history. However,
barcode medicine identification at the point of
administration is an interruptive process and, for this
reason, health professionals often develop “work arounds”
to circumvent barcode scanning.
• The Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD), due to be
implemented in 2017, calls for unique identification of
medicines at the point of dispensing, in order to combat
counterfeiting.
Mobile technology
• The use of mobile telephones is widespread
in society. Some pharmacies are using text
alerts to remind patients that repeat
prescriptions are ready or to offer services,
but sophisticated apps have been developed
for disease monitoring.
• for example, recording of peak flow
readings in asthma, monitoring of blood
glucose levels, medication adherence
support and health education. These apps
will have a greater impact on pharmacy
practice in future.
Telecare
•Telecare involves the use of digital
communications technology (audio and visual)
to provide healthcare consultations and
services to patients remotely at home.
• Telecare has various potential benefits:
• it puts patients at the centre of their care and
supports personalised medicine;
• it improves access to healthcare by reducing
the need for hospital attendance (for people
with poor mobility, or those in remote areas);
and
•it can reduce the travelling times and costs of
healthcare professionals.
Healthera
• Apps like Healthera can now also be used by the
pharmacy itself, giving them the ability (through an
integrated platform) to recommend and add patients,
encouraging the pharmacy team to go that extra step
further in promoting good medicine adherence.
• And the pharmacies benefit as well. These systems are
proven to improve customer retention, improve effective
patient communication, provide a way for patients to
view and book services more easily, streamline
pharmacy procedures and help staff manage them better.
