TECHNOLOGY

A key operating guideline at Medical Pharmacies is to automate an increasing number of areas in the pharmacy to improve our processes and continue our accurate, efficient medication delivery. Technology developments and enhancements enable our pharmacists to focus their time on counseling and programs that have a direct impact on our customers’ well-being and quality of life.

Combined with detailed computer training, workflow management, expert pharmacy design and experienced support personnel, our investments in technology create a motivating work environment and continuous improvement in our services to our customers.


Developed specifically for long term care homes, Med-eMAR™ is a web-based Medication Administration Record and Medication Ordering system that virtually eliminates the need for paper during a Med Pass. A touchscreen tablet mounted on the med cart provides real-time medication records and uses colour-coded cues to immediately identify any outstanding medications that have not been documented.

Medical Pharmacies uses a unique integrated eMAR system with scanning, called “shipping verification application (SVA)”, to improve safety and documentation through electronic medication shipment tracking, consolidation of eMAR entry with medication dispensed by pharmacy, and an electronic drug record book.

Med-eMAR interfaces with the clinical documentation software from Point Click Care and Med e-care. Interfaces with GoldCare and Momentum are under development.


Need a simple technology solution to improve documentation accuracy? Med-eDigital™ combines digitally encoded MAR paper with the Med-ePen to record and transmit MAR documentation and order updates while providing easy reordering with the stroke of a pen. Resident photos are incorporated in the MAR to provide an added safety check. Nursing staff is alerted to any signatures missed or PRN follow-ups needed. Our digital MAR integrates quickly and seamlessly with your current systems and requires minimal training.


Med-ePen digitally captures physicians’ orders and signatures for secure transmission directly from the nursing station computer to your Medical Pharmacy.

Med-ePen simplifies the communication of new orders and reduces callbacks from the pharmacy.


An automated packaging machine prepares personalized pouches in a 7-day strip showing the date and time the medications are to be administered.


Med-eFill is an online prescription reordering application that allows long term care staff to enter single or multiple repeat prescriptions.
