Persons allowed to dispense is dependent on the individual state's regulations. While every state has its own set of regulations; the following states are where dispensing has been restricted: Massachusetts, Montana, New York, and Texas. Dispensing is typically performed by the physician, physician assistant, registered nurse, or nurse practitioner. Generally, those allowed to dispense are licensed medical professionals.
Dispensing can be completed quickly and effortlessly with either one of our two record keeping systems. The entire process can be achieved in less than one minute with our Dispense System Software or our manual record system. Proficient Rx has already prepackaged and labeled the medication so it is ready to dispense. Of the two options, our web based software is the most efficient. This allows the medication to be dispensed in only a few clicks.
Once you have logged into the web-based software the process can be completed in the following steps: select the patient, select the medication to be dispensed, print the label and adhere it to the bottle. Proficient Rx also offers a manual record keeping system that can be completed in a few simple steps: document the dispensed medication, peel off the segment label from the bottle and place on the dispensing log, peel off the pre-printed patient label with the documented information and adhere it to the bottle.
Our web based software program was created to streamline the process of dispensing medication. The software is a user friendly system that makes it possible for offices to dispense prepackaged medications quickly and easily. Some advantages to our software include the following: manage, order, track and dispense drugs right from your desktop. A simple internet connection ensures all drug information and up-to-date, accurate pricing. Proficient Rx offers our web based solution free of charge to our customers.
Software training can typically be accomplished in less than one hour. Our customer service personnel will assist you in the setup and training. We will give you step-by-step instructions to each of the functionalities offered on our software. At Proficient Rx, we maintain the industry’s highest standard in customer support and training.
Proficient Rx carries a variety of medications used in the office including injectables, vaccines, liquids, TENS units, and topicals. In addition, we have a large selection of Durable Medical Equipment (orthotics).
For the storage of prepackaged medications, FDA and DEA regulations stipulate the need for a locked cabinet or drawer. Controlled substances must be stored behind a double lock; one of our dispensing cabinets behind a locked door will satisfy the double lock requirement.
Patient convenience and affordability are the top two reasons. Patients often appreciate physician medication dispensing because they can avoid a trip to the pharmacy as well as the need to wait for their prescription to be filled. Patients often save money by obtaining their prescription at the doctor’s office versus the pharmacy. Patient compliance and confidentiality of the in-office dispensed medication are other benefits.
It is at your discretion to determine the price charged to your patients for the medication. Taking that into consideration, most patients save time and money as a result of in-office dispensing by eliminating the separate trip to their local pharmacy. In office dispensing is a growing ancillary program for many practices and a great way to increase revenues. Many providers are recognizing the ability to meet patient needs through physician medication dispensing as a compliment to their patient-physician relationships. The program itself is quite simple and dispensing can be done quickly. In office dispensing can save you and your staff time on the phone with local pharmacies from fielding common questions about prescriptions, handwriting, and patient verification to name a few.
