FacilityLink answers the need for an efficient communication channel between the facility and the pharmacy, replacing fax and telephone methods currently in place.   FacilityLink is a Web application, which is to be hosted in the pharmacy.  It will communicate directly with the pharmacy's FrameworkLTC^® database and expose some of this data to the facilities for their use.  FacilityLink allows the pharmacy to establish a secure method of communication with it's facility customers by allowing the facilities to use this application.  Methods include SSL, VPN, WAN, IP Banning, or any other secure method of transport.  

Upgrade now to FacilityLink version 2.

Security
FrameworkLTC^® users are given access to FacilityLink by a primary facility user.  Permissions can be assigned for each user defining access (granted/denied) to each function in the program.

New Admissions
Users in the facility populate demographics, payment plans, drug allergies, medical conditions, current drug orders, and current non-drug orders. These new patient admission requests are sent to the pharmacy's work queue for review and final acceptance. 

Patient Profile Maintenance
Users in the facility can see current entries in a patient's profile as well as change profile information. The patient's demographics, allergies, and non-drug order additions and changes can be requested of the pharmacy.  Discharge requests can also be entered by users in the facility.

Drug Orders
Non-drug (literal orders) can be maintained directly by the nursing staff in the facility.  Pharmacy intervention is not required to enter, change, or stop a non-drug order.  Request for new drug orders, reorders, refills, and discontinue orders can be added to the pharmacy work queue as well, though it may be necessary for the facility to still fax the hard copy prescription to the pharmacy, depending on state board of pharmacy requirements.

Drug Quote
The drug quote feature allows the facility to create its own drug quote.  This function is intended to be used during the admission process to evaluate the impact of a potential admission.

Prescription Status
FacilityLink users can monitor the status of prescriptions in the pharmacy.  As the prescription is being processed at the pharmacy using FrameworkLTC^®, pharmacists/technicians can update the status.

Medical Records
The facility can print medical records for their patients.  The medical records are generated and sent to the pharmacy in a proprietary format to be printed on plain paper. The facility can download a free utility, available from SoftWriters, Inc. to view and print that file.  The format for the records will be set for that facility in FrameworkLTC^®.
