Facility Module

The Facility Module or Nursing Home Module provides the forms, reports and functionality necessary for any institutional pharmacy whether long-term care, mental health, assisted living, board-and-care or corrections. to help institutional pharmacies increase productivity, efficiency and profitability while supporting the unique needs of long-term care environments. The module includes support for various forms such as MAR, Physician Orders, treatment sheets and psychotropic monitoring sheets.

The Nursing Home module is totally integrated with your patients' prescriptions. Its features include printing MARs and Physician Orders, performing drug utilization reviews, end-of-month unit dose billing, and automatically batch filling routine meds and cycle fill for nursing homes. Our Nursing Home module also features thermal printing, which produces crisp, easy to read labels with “easy peel” tabs and barcodes for fast, accurate refill ordering.

§ The unit dose billing program allows you to bill unit dose prescriptions at the end of the month. Routine meds automatically default to the month's supply and eliminates entry unless there is a change.

§ First-time prescriptions can be placed "on-hold," giving you the ability to enter unit dose prescriptions that will not be billed until the end of the month and to document prescriptions filled from other pharmacies for homes you are serving.

§ Each nursing home can be assigned default standing routine orders, med pass times, attending and alternate physicians, skill levels, and activities that can be applied to each patient as needed.

§ Med sheets can be printed by account number, name or bed location. This helps organize the sheets in the same order that the nursing home will use them.

§ Treatment orders can be given scheduled charting times and can be printed either with the med sheets or on separate treatment sheets.

§ Prescriptions can be given pass times which print on the med sheet for charting. Different default pass times can be assigned to each home as required.

§ You can define the order in which the prescriptions are printed on the med sheets according to the dispensing frequencies such as QID, TID, BID, PRN, etc.

§ You may record wing, room and bed, weight, height, attending and alternate physicians, skill level, admission date, special diet instructions, diagnosis, allergies, permitted activities, and physician orders. Each order can be assigned an appropriate start and stop date.

§ You can produce drug utilization review reports that help you provide consultation. Included are drug-disease contraindications, drug-drug interactions, drug-allergy screening, federal indicator guideline reviews, and medication side effects.
