PharmScan, a companion product to FrameworkLTC^® uses hand held computers with bar code scanners to:

• automate physical inventory collection,

• eliminate dispensing errors,

• track shipping totes to facilities, and

• provide the pharmacist with an electronic final review of prescriptions.

PharmScan, is designed for the Microsoft PocketPC platform and integrates seamlessly with FrameworkLTC^® - all of the data recorded on the PharmScan device will be stored in the FrameworkLTC^® database, providing a single source for reporting.

Perform physical inventory of your formulary
Use the Inventory Collector to perform physical inventory of the drug products in your pharmacy formulary. With PharmScan you can download your pharmacy formulary to the hand held computer. Then take the hand held computer(s) to your shelf and scan the manufacturers barcode on the package. Full or partial packages can be recorded. When finished, return to your desktop computer and upload the physical inventory to print variance reports and update your on-hand quantities for all of the products in your formulary.

Eliminate dispensing errors
The Rx NDC Verifier is used during the filling process to assure that the drug product identified on the label is the drug product that is being dispensed. PharmScan will allow you to scan the NDC number bar-coded on the prescription label, and then scan the manufacturer's barcode on the product package. If the NDC numbers match, PharmScan records the ID of the pharmacist/technician filling the script and the date and time it was filled. If the drug product being dispensed does not match the label, an audible attention signal is generated, along with an on-screen warning, and the user is not permitted to fill the script. Dispensing information is later uploaded to FrameworkLTC^®.

Define and track shipping totes
Use the Manage Shipping Totes function to define shipping totes, the destination facility, and the expected ship date on your PharmScan computer. Scan the order number on the prescription label and the shipping tote ID when placing an order in the tote. If the tote is bound for a different facility than the order, the user will be notified with an audible signal. During the Final Review process, the pharmacist/technician shipping the order, as well as a date/time stamp is recorded in the PharmScan computer. This information is then uploaded to FrameworkLTC^® allowing the user to print packing slips by shipping tote for the orders included in the tote.

PharmScan allows your pharmacists to remain mobile and work efficiently, while assuring quality during the dispensing and review process.
