Abbotsford Family Pharmacy collaborates closely with leading providers of electronic medication management systems and solutions. These systems are designed to establish a seamless digital environment where nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals can efficiently and safely chart, administer, and dispense medications.

The electronic systems enable aged care facilities to electronically submit orders and requests, as well as exchange messages with the pharmacy without relying on fax or email. This process logs all communications between parties and ensures comprehensive information relay. It also minimizes duplicate orders by alerting nurses when medication has recently been ordered by another staff member.

With the electronic charting module, healthcare providers can be confident that any changes made by prescribers are promptly communicated to the pharmacy and readily available during nurses’ medication rounds for administration. Prescribers can remotely verify and review charts, eliminating the need for telephone orders. These electronic systems eliminate transcription errors and allow nurses to easily interpret medication charts without deciphering handwritten notes.

Email notifications are automatically generated and sent to all clinical staff whenever a prescriber modifies medication charts, ensuring everyone is informed of updates without the need to individually check each chart.
