Pharmacy management systems streamline the workflows for drug dispensing, medical claims management, and patient medication adherence. Pharmacy employees use these tools to optimize operational efficiency, leverage actionable data points, and reduce costs, compliance risks, and errors. With a pharmacy management system, any pharmacy (clinical, retail, independent, etc.) can automate and simplify daily tasks like drug stock management, customer management, and billing.
Many pharmacies can rely on the end-to-end nature of pharmacy management systems to take care of all of their business needs, but some systems are designed to seamlessly integrate with medication dispensing software, e-prescribing software, pharmacy POS systems, or EHR software to provide a better clinical and patient-facing experience.
To qualify for inclusion in the Pharmacy Management Systems category, a product must:
Collect and maintain drug and customer data
Manage drug inventory management and fulfillment
Offer medication management functionality or integrate with e-prescribing or other medical document management tools
Provide accounting and billing features or integration with third-party accounting software
