Uniweb Offers Consultation and Immunization Rooms
By Ash Yerasi, PharmD, MBA, Vice President, Pharmacy Network Strategy, MedImpact
Why choose Uniweb? Consider the function of consultation and immunization rooms. Uniweb provide rooms with the following benefits:
Convenience and Ease of Access: With Uniweb’s portable and flexible design, store designers can install the room virtually anywhere. Its ADA compliant entries will accommodate all users of the space. The consult room can be placed near the check-out station for easy access for transactions, procedures or conversations between patients and pharmacy staff.
Privacy and Comfort: Uniweb crafts a welcoming ambiance with the use of privacy glass doors and panels to create a warm and inviting setting. Allowing for natural light keeps the room comfortable. Combine this with sound absorbing décor fabric panels to maintain patient confidentiality.
PBMs can help improve health outcomes and reduce costs by offering high-performing pharmacy solutions that drive quality care by influencing behavior change, increasing clinical value, and improving adherence, safety and member service. Research reveals that retail pharmacists are one of the most influential healthcare voices for getting members to take their medicine as prescribed. Not only are pharmacists the most accessible healthcare provider, but also nearly 90 percent of Americans live within five miles of a community pharmacy. MedImpact is the PBM that supports your efforts to increase customer loyalty, improve health outcomes and expand your market share. We’ve intentionally chosen not to purchase drugs or own drug dispensing pharmacies so we are more optimally aligned to support your goals.
Premium Custom Décor and Finishes: Many design possibilities are available – custom metal finishes, trim strips, décor panels, laminates, wood and wood veneers, decorative metals, glass, tile, awnings, special lighting, signage and much more.
Industry-Leading, Transparent Solutions High-performance network and technology solutions increase efficiency and lower cost for members and our pharmacy partners. Research reveals that every $1 invested in pharmacist clinical services results in nearly $5 in cost savings. Last year, MedImpact partnered with NCPDP to develop the first industry pharmacy portal that accesses NCPDP’s resQ data in real-time. The industry-leading, transparent technology increases efficiency and reduces costs for our retail pharmacies. This innovative technology enables MedImpact to use all the data and documents
