Return Solutions Maximizes Inventory ROI With Fast and Simple Credit Reimbursement

Case Study: More Than a Vendor, a True Partnership

C ASE ST U DY

MORE THAN A VENDOR, A TRUE PARTNERSHIP

HMRx and Innovatix grow their business with Scriptmax.

HMRx and Innovatix Grow their Business with Scriptmax BACKGROUND On-site pharmacy teams allow for more responsive care and reduced medication errors. This sentence represents the value proposition of HMRx Pharmacy services (HMRx), a service line of HMR Veterans Services, Inc. (HMRVSI). In 2012, HMRVSI expanded its offerings to state veterans’ homes because they could bring a high-level of expertise in pharmacy operations. They also understood the significance and unique needs of serving those who served.

HMRx has the privilege of serving nine veterans’ homes across four states where they take on the risk and liabilities, manage medications, and navigate VA formularies and payment sources.

Michael McBride II Director of Operations ~ HMRx, LLC

Return Solutions is the most recommended company in the industry with endorsements from more than 25 buying groups.

“We are proud that many states choose HMRx to provide cost-effective services for a continuum of care for our veterans,” stated Michael McBride II, director of operations, HMRx, LLC. “Supporting these homes means establishing a gold standard in pharmacy services.”

GOALS To deliver on every level of pharmacy operations, HMRx assesses areas of improvement. One of the most pressing items is eliminating any roadblocks to receiving the maximum reimbursements on pharmacy prescription claims.

“Along with our growth goal came the imperative to identify revenue opportunities and ensure that 100% of claims are reviewed, adjudicated, processed, and paid at the maximum reimbursement levels,” said McBride.

HMRx knew it needed to streamline its Medicare Part D plans electronic funds processes, and that meant achieving three objectives: 1. Improve efficiencies. Specifically, move from a 15-page report and paper check reconciliations and transition all 835 files to reconcile and transfer funds electronically.

2. Maximize cash flow by minimizing errors with a reconciliation process.

3. Support the team by simplifying claims reviews and making reporting faster and easier.

The aim of HMRx is for a continuous deficiency-free approach, ensuring every pharmacy contract meets all state and federal requirements.

CHALLENGES HMRx dealt with antiquated tools and processes, causing delays and lost revenue. The existing pharmacy software didn’t have the full reporting to sift through the information and expedite the Medicare Part D claims. And the amount of information required for each claim created dozens of barriers to receiving maximum reimbursement. www.innovatix.com

Case Study: HealthPoint & Liberty Software

C AS E S T U DY HEALTHPOINT CHOOSES LIBERTY SOFTWARE TO EMPOWER THE PHARMACY TEAM

HealthPoint chooses Liberty Software to empower the pharmacy team.

BACKGROUND With strong roots in the King County community in Washington State, HealthPoint, a level 3 patientcentered medical home, cares for more than 100,000 people at 20 primary care facilities. There are 11 pharmacies across the health system: nine traditional site pharmacies, one central fill pharmacy, and one specialty pharmacy.

Katya Kanevski Director of Pharmacy Services ~ HealthPoint

This case study examines one of HealthPoint’s high-profile upgrades — a new pharmacy management solution by profiling Director of Pharmacy Services, Katya Kanevski. She shares the analysis and decision-making process that led to selecting Liberty Software to build their personalized pharmacy platform.

INTENDED OUTCOME Robust dispensing software is about accuracy, efficiency, productivity, compliance, safety, and adaptability to meet ever-changing business and compliance needs. Kanevski wanted a low-touch system to support the delivery of high-touch pharmacy-based services for patients.

“Pharmacists’ time is valuable and stretched thin. We need to free up their time with a system that allows for dispensing efficiency and technological solutions,” said Kanevski. “We can do more for our patients by spending less time on manual tasks.”

“We were not as efficient as we needed to be. And we had a limited system,” said Kanevski. “We needed to position ourselves competitively against the rapidly changing pharmacy landscape.”

The pain points for the pharmacy team included too much manual intervention that made processes cumbersome. Central fill had too many moving parts.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF PRESCRIBING INFORMATION Consult the full US Prescribing Information for complete product information.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE FLUAD QUADRIVALENT is an inactivated influenza vaccine indicated for active immunization against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and types B contained in the vaccine. FLUAD QUADRIVALENT is approved for use in persons 65 years of age and older. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on the immune response elicited by FLUAD QUADRIVALENT. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

For intramuscular injection only.

CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not administer FLUAD QUADRIVALENT to anyone with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g. anaphylaxis) to any component of the vaccine, including egg protein, or to a previous influenza vaccine.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Guillain-Barré Syndrome: If Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has occurred within 6 weeks of receipt of prior influenza vaccine, the decision to give FLUAD QUADRIVALENT should be based on careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks. The 1976 swine influenza vaccine was associated with an elevated risk of GBS. [see Reference (1)] Evidence for a causal relationship of GBS with other influenza vaccines is inconclusive; if an excess risk exists, it is probably slightly more than 1 additional case per 1 million persons vaccinated.

Preventing and Managing Allergic Reactions: Appropriate medical treatment and supervision must be available to manage possible anaphylactic reactions following administration of the vaccine.

Altered Immunocompetence: The immune response to FLUAD QUADRIVALENT in immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may be lower than in immunocompetent individuals.

Syncope: Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines including FLUAD QUADRIVALENT. Ensure procedures are in place to avoid injury from falling associated with syncope.

Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness: Vaccination with FLUAD QUADRIVALENT may not protect all vaccine recipients against influenza disease.

ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common (≥10%) local and systemic reactions in elderly subjects 65 years of age and older were injection site pain (16.3%), headache (10.8%) and fatigue (10.5%).

Clinical Trials Experience: Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect rates observed in clinical practice.

The safety of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT was evaluated in two clinical studies in 4269 elderly subjects 65 years of age and older. Study 1 (NCT02587221) was a multi-center, randomized, observer-blind, non-influenza comparator-controlled efficacy and safety study conducted in 12 countries during the 2016-2017 Northern Hemisphere and 2017 Southern Hemisphere seasons. In this study, 3381 subjects received FLUAD QUADRIVALENT and 3380 subjects received a US-licensed non-influenza comparator vaccine (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Boostrix® [GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals]).

The mean age of subjects at enrollment was 72 years, 62% were female, 48% White, 34% Asian, 16% Other, 2% American Indian/Alaska Native, and 18% of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity.

Solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were collected for 7 days after vaccination in a subset of 665 subjects who received FLUAD QUADRIVALENT and 667 subjects who received the comparator vaccine. The percentages of subjects reporting solicited local adverse reactions are presented in Table 1a and systemic adverse reactions are presented in Table 1b. Onset usually occurred within the first 2 days after vaccination. The majority of solicited reactions resolved within 3 days.

Solicited Safety Population: all subjects in the exposed population who received a study vaccine and provided post-vaccination solicited safety data Severe reactions of each type were reported in 1.1% or fewer subjects receiving FLUAD QUADRIVALENT; severe reactions of each type were also reported in the comparator group at similar percentages. Severe definitions: Erythema, Induration and Ecchymosis = >100 mm diameter; Injection site pain = prevents daily activity.

Severe definitions: Nausea, Fatigue, Myalgia, Arthralgia, Headache, and Chills = prevents daily activity; Loss of appetite = not eating at all; Vomiting = 6 or more times in 24 hours or requires intravenous hydration; Diarrhea = 6 or more loose stools in 24 hours or requires intravenous hydration; Fever = ≥102.2°F (39°C).

Unsolicited adverse events (AEs) were collected for all subjects for 21 days after vaccination.

Related unsolicited AEs were reported by 303 (9.0%) and by 261 (7.7%) of the subjects for FLUAD QUADRIVALENT and Boostrix, respectively. For FLUAD QUADRIVALENT, injection site pain and influenza-like illness were the only unsolicited adverse reactions reported in ≥ 1% of subjects (1.7% and 1.5%, respectively).

Serious adverse events (SAEs) and potentially immune-mediated adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were collected up to 366 days after vaccination. SAEs were reported by 238 (7.0%) FLUAD QUADRIVALENT recipients and 234 (6.9%) comparator recipients. There were no SAEs, AESIs or deaths in this study that were related to FLUAD QUADRIVALENT. Study 2 (NCT03314662) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, comparator-controlled study conducted during the 2017-18 Northern Hemisphere influenza season. In this study, 888 subjects received FLUAD QUADRIVALENT, 444 subjects received the licensed adjuvanted trivalent vaccine (aTIV-1 - FLUAD® (trivalent formulation)) and 444 subjects received an adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine with an alternate B strain (aTIV-2).

The mean age of subjects at enrollment who received FLUAD QUADRIVALENT was 72.5 years. Female subjects represented 56.6% of the study population and the racial distribution of subjects was 91.6% Caucasian, 7.0% Black or African American, and ≤ 1% each for Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native or Other.

Solicited local and systemic adverse reactions reported within 7 days after vaccination were similar to those reported for Study 1. Unsolicited AEs were collected for 21 days after vaccination. Related unsolicited AEs were reported by 39 (4.4%) and by 17-19 (3.8%-4.3%) of subjects administered FLUAD QUADRIVALENT or aTIV, respectively. For FLUAD QUADRIVALENT, injection site bruising (1.0%) was the only unsolicited adverse reaction reported in ≥ 1% of subjects.

Serious AEs and AESIs were collected up to 181 days after vaccination. Within 6 months after vaccination, 37 (4.2%) FLUAD QUADRIVALENT recipients and 18-28 (4.1%-6.3%) aTIV recipients experienced an SAE. There were no SAEs, AESIs or deaths in this study that were related to the study vaccine. There were no AEs leading to withdrawal from the study.

Postmarketing Experience: There are no postmarketing data available for FLUAD QUADRIVALENT. However, the postmarketing experience with FLUAD (trivalent formulation) is relevant to FLUAD QUADRIVALENT because both vaccines are manufactured using the same process and have overlapping compositions.

Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to the vaccine.

Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Thrombocytopenia (some cases were severe with platelet counts less than 5,000 per mm3), lymphadenopathy General disorders and administration site conditions: Extensive swelling of injected limb lasting more than one week, injection site cellulitis-like reactions (some cases of swelling, pain, and redness extending more than 10 cm and lasting more than 1 week) Immune system disorders: Allergic reactions including anaphylactic shock, anaphylaxis, and angioedema

13

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Muscular weakness

Pediatric Use

Nervous systems disorders: Encephalomyelitis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, convulsions, neuritis, neuralgia, parasthesia, syncope, presyncope

Safety and effectiveness of FLUAD and FLUAD QUADRIVALENT (same manufacturing process and overlapping composition with FLUAD) were evaluated in clinical trials conducted in children 6 months to <72 months of age. Data from these trials are inconclusive to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT in children 6 months to <72 months of age. The safety and effectiveness of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT in infants less than 6 months of age and in children older than 72 months of age have not been evaluated.

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Generalized skin reactions including erythema multiforme, urticaria, pruritus or nonspecific rash Vascular disorders: Vasculitis, renal vasculitis DRUG INTERACTIONS Concomitant Use With Other Vaccines: No clinical data on concomitant administration of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT with other vaccines is available.

If FLUAD QUADRIVALENT is given at the same time as other injectable vaccine(s), the vaccine(s) should be administered at different injection sites.

Do not mix FLUAD QUADRIVALENT with any other vaccine in the same syringe.

Concurrent Use With Immunosuppressive Therapies: Immunosuppressive or corticosteroid therapies may reduce the immune response to FLUAD QUADRIVALENT. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy

Geriatric Use Safety and immunogenicity of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT have been evaluated in adults 65 years of age and older.

Risk Summary FLUAD QUADRIVALENT is not approved for use in persons < 65 years of age. There are insufficient human data to establish whether there is a vaccine-associated risk with use of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT in pregnancy.

There were no developmental toxicity studies of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT performed in animals.

A developmental toxicity study has been performed in female rabbits administered FLUAD (trivalent formulation) prior to mating and during gestation. A 0.5 mL dose was injected on each occasion (a single human dose is 0.5 mL).

Precise temperature control to maintain vaccine integrity

Each year, vaccines ruined by accidental freezing or exposure accounts for millions of dollars in inventory loss. Follett highperformance refrigerators and freezers provide the confidence that comes with unmatched precision in temperature control.

Our advanced ducted air-distribution system is coupled with a robust suite of features designed to monitor and protect your vulnerable medications and vaccines.

Contents The Newest Addition to the Axial® Multi-Dose Adherence Packager Family is Here: The Axial® RMD-130U Prescription filling and dispensing has never been faster, easier, or more adaptable to a wide variety of workflows.

Increase revenue, improve patient care, and differentiate your pharmacy with smart and economical automation.

Get all the benefits of our other revolutionary Axial® machines—with even more flexibility.

We’ve expanded on the capabilities of our Axial® RMD-144 by adding 4 universal canisters to address the concerns associated with changing NDC numbers.

This next-generation technology offers smaller, quieter, and more efficient pill packaging than ever before.

With 130 canisters, 4 Universal Canisters, and a Manual Fill Tray, you’ll always have multiple options for your workflow — without sacrificing speed or reliability.

Even with changing NDC numbers, you don’t have to worry about getting a new medication into a canister.

The Universal Canisters minimize the potential for operator errors and can be used with medications that do not have a canister.

Like the Axial® RMD-144 and RMD-352, the RMD-130U uses a revolutionary new rotary design, has an integrated dehumidifier, and is among the smallest, quietest, and most durable productivity-enhancing machines on the market.

This sleek design also allows for easy access to the RFID canisters, and you can run and fill canisters at the same time, giving you more time to provide quality patient care.

Invest in the future of your business and in the health of your community today! Contact us for a quote, free demo or ROI analysis.

All of our machines are built to last and are backed by our industry-leading customer service team.

Company Background

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: TMO) is the world leader in serving science, with annual revenue of approximately $40 billion.

Our mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. Whether our customers are accelerating life sciences research, solving complex analytical challenges, improving patient diagnostics and therapies, or increasing productivity in their laboratories, we are here to support them. Our global team of more than 100,000 colleagues delivers an unrivaled combination of innovative technologies, purchasing convenience, and pharmaceutical services through our industry-leading brands, including Thermo Scientific, Applied Biosystems, Invitrogen, Fisher Scientific, Unity Lab Services, Patheon, and PPD.

Thermo Scientific™ TSX Series High-Performance Refrigerators and Freezers A Better Environment Inside and Out Temperature variation can have an impact on the viability and efficacy of vaccines, medication, reagents, and other temperature-sensitive materials. These variations can shorten product shelf life, degrade enzymes, and reduce vaccine effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to choose a high-performance refrigerator or freezer that has been designed for the demanding standards of the laboratory environment. n NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard Certified Thermo Scientific TSX Series high-performance pharmacy refrigerators and freezers from Thermo Fisher Scientific, are among the first to be certified to the NSF International/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. The certification provides further validation to customers of reliable thermal performance across all potential storage locations and under varying loads and uses.

Thermo Scientific cold storage has been deployed globally at clinics, pharmacies, and vaccine sites to support the worldwide distribution of temperature-sensitive COVID-19 vaccines.

n A Whisper-Quiet Operation The TSX Series offers a whisper-quiet operation, so you can bring the refrigerator or freezer out of the hallway and back into your lab without disrupting your audio environment. n Verified Sustainability — ACT Label When you’re looking for sustainable products, we believe it should be easy to make informed purchasing decisions. That’s why Thermo Scientific TSX Series high-performance refrigerators and freezers have completed the ACT Environmental Impact Factor Label labelling processes, which is designed to address the needs of both scientists and procurement specialists for clear, third-party verified information about the environmental impact of laboratory products. The criteria for the ACT label were developed with input from industry experts and external stakeholders, and the label process entails third-party verification of the sustainable impacts of a product, its operations, and its end of life. n The SNAP-Compliant Choice Additionally, Thermo Scientific TSX Series high-performance refrigerators and freezers are designed with features that support sustainability objectives and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP). Our variablespeed compressor technology (V-Drive) utilizes natural refrigerants with near zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and all of the cabinets utilize water blown foam insulation instead of traditional refrigerant blown insulation. n ENERGY STAR-Certified While conventional-refrigerant, high-performance refrigerators and freezers can run at very high kWh/day in energy usage, the TSX Series by comparison has been designed to reduce energy usage without compromising performance. All TSX Series products are EPA ENERGY STAR®-certified. n Ready for Connectivity TSX models are compatible with the Thermo Scientific™ DeviceLink™ Connect, enabling you to have a connected experience with your unit so you always — and anywhere — know the safety of your samples and the performance of your refrigerator or freezer. The units are also compatible with Thermo Scientific™ Smart-Vue™ Pro wireless monitoring systems. n Fit for Purpose Service Solutions Keep You Up and Running Your laboratory and medical refrigerators and freezers are designed to give you confidence with reliable operation, and our service team can extend that confidence by keeping you up and running. From installation to maintenance, service plans, and compliance services, our full range of service solutions deliver optimal performance and worry-free operation, help ensure regulatory compliance, reduce maintenance, and let our customers focus on their work.

Company Background

Liberty Software is an independent software company serving retail pharmacies across the U.S. We develop software and technology that helps community pharmacies be successful in today’s marketplace.

At Liberty Software, we work hard to make sure our pharmacies are satisfied and happy. To do this, we have brought together a team of individuals who are experienced with pharmacy and technology, and just as important, are friendly and helpful.

Product Overview

Here at Liberty, we believe that we have created a revolutionary pharmacy software platform. Why do we say that? It’s not just the technology, although it is built on Microsoft’s newest technology. It’s not just the feature list, although it is comprehensive. More than anything, we believe that it is the user experience. Prescriptions can be filled quickly and accurately. Many pharmacists have told us it is the easiest system they have ever used.

How long does it take to teach new employees how to operate your existing pharmacy software? Pharmacies using Liberty have found that new employees can often begin filling scripts immediately, with little to no training. It’s just that simple. A well-designed pharmacy system should make your employees more productive and happier. When you do need help, it’s only a phone call or mouse click away.

Benefits

• Organize your pharmacy.

• Fill more scripts without adding staff.

• Improve customer service.

• Streamline your workflow.

• Manage and improve profits.

• Increase patient safety.

Features

• Flexible Workflow to Fit Your Pharmacy • Proactive Patient Adherence Tools • Five-Star Dashboard • Auto Refills • Extensive Compounding Toolset • Advanced Bin Management • AWP Reclaim to Rebill Outdated AWP Scripts • Manufacture Coupon Management • Inventory Control Made Easy • Simple Accounts Receivable • Insurance Audit Report • User Customizable Prescription Labels • Monitor DIR Fees • Pharmacy Task Management • Document Management • Flexible DataViews to Drill Down on Data • Integrated Pharmacy Point of Sale • Modern Payment Processing Including EMV and ApplePay • Pseudoephedrine Real-Time Monitoring • Cloud Powered Multi-Store Management

Testimonials

“ Liberty Software is easy to learn, has lots of great user options, and the support is phenomenal!”

— Brian Erickson, Freedom Pharmacy

“ I have been with Liberty for a number of years and they have kept up with our industry. I would recommend them to any independent.”

— Scott Palmer, A&P Pharmacy

“ We really enjoy the point-of-sale system. It has given us absolute accountability.

The delivery features and signature capture has really made life easier for us.”

— Bill Mattson, Ballin Pharmacy

Pharmacy Point of Sale Built In

For your pharmacy, point-of-sale software needs to be more than cash drawer management for your front-end. For your patients, it should enable your staff to provide better service. For you, it should result in better accountability, assistance with HIPAA compliance, and improved pharmacy management. These are values that not just any point-of-sale package can deliver. That’s why we developed ours from the ground up, designed especially for community pharmacies’ needs. Liberty’s point of sale is not simply an add-on to your pharmacy system, but a completely integrated solution.

Product Overview

RMS’ holistic approach is comprised of four major components: software, hardware, training, and support. Each component plays an important role. n Software: RMS’ software solutions are comprehensive, scalable, flexible, and easy to use. Our software programs and over 30 pharmacy system integrations go beyond the basics of what you might expect from a POS system. We empower our users to work with the partners of their choosing and build a system that is tailored to their needs.

There are a number of software capabilities built to help pharmacies grow profits and improve customer-centricity.

• Our NutriButler program embodies these goals by integrating supplement recommendations based on drug-induced nutrient depletion right into the transaction. Making it easy to help customers experience improved outcomes and increase supplement sales.

Profits from this program can easily pay for your RMS subscription.

• WillCall by RMS saves time and your wallet by using built-in functionality to batch multiple prescriptions into a single bag.

Our integration with Pointy from Google uploads your products to your Google My Business page and displays them to shoppers searching for businesses and products in their area. Our integration

with 24SevenCommerce allows you to easily manage your e-commerce stores.

• RMS Delivery simplifies management of the home delivery process. This essential service is streamlined with easy transaction prep and offline electronic signature capture.

For pharmacies managing retail departments, RMS’ inventory management solutions open the door for advanced management of frontend products. Wholesaler interfaces allow automated price updates and a streamlined purchasing and receiving process. Integrated shelf labels keep your shelf prices and system prices in sync. And advanced product reporting can help you reduce overhead costs by identifying products that aren’t selling, enabling you to take a more agile approach to the products you carry and make the most of your retail space.

A host of additional reports, both canned and customizable, are also available from cash management, to employee performance, to A/R balances, and more. RMS systems give you the data you need to drive important decisions and run a more profitable and efficient pharmacy. n Hardware: Our flexible hardware options mean that there’s an option for every scenario. Sales can be processed in many different ways to meet the unique needs of your pharmacy. Whether you need standard retail lanes, an option for drive-thru payments and signatures, curbside pickup solutions, or an easy way to track home deliveries, you can mix and match to create the perfect modern technology scheme. n Training: RMS’ training programs are tailored to the needs of your pharmacy. In addition to product training and expert implementation, customers can choose one of our outcome focused approaches.

RMS Boost focuses on ways to make your pharmacy more profitable and the RMS Care training program puts an emphasis on customercentricity.

For example, a 55,000-cards-per-month pharmacy serving mental health patients is producing 35,000 cards per month in DOSIS automation while providing different filling and labeling formats for their various customer facilities. Another partner pharmacy is filling 250,000 cards per month for SNF patients with

DOSIS Systems filling over 200,000 cards every month (dailies and cycles). DOSIS automatically prints color-coded med-pass information on every label in this system based on the prescription data. A 48,000-card-per-month pharmacy is getting 37,000 cards per month via DOSIS Systems. It is actively converting away from the cycle-fill model because it is more efficient for them to fill on demand using their integrated DOSIS automation.

They have already eliminated pre-packs from their workflow “to reduce inventory and extra touches.” Using DOSIS Systems to automate filling cards and printing timepass labels, an 18,000-card pharmacy doubled in size without adding any staff on the floor. At another pharmacy doing 180,000 cards per month with 75% filled by DOSIS, the return-to-stock feature allows them to efficiently track and re-use cards filled for scripts that are canceled before shipping. For a pharmacy filling 97,000 on-demand cards each month, the pre-pack manager feature extends the productivity of the DOSIS Systems by automatically restocking pre-pack card inventory after hours — DOSIS produces 58,000 cards each month, and the pharmacy is open less than 60 hours per week.

Every month, DOSIS Systems fill over 2-million cards in pharmacies large and small; SNF, mental health, and corrections; dailies, cycles, pre-packs; with and without med-pass and auxiliary label information; single- and multiple-tablet per blister; calendarstart and straight-fill.

Company Background & History n Delivering Exemplary Provider® Recognition for Over 25 Years The Compliance Team, Inc. (TCT), a nationally recognized CMSapproved accreditation organization, was founded in 1994 with the fundamental philosophy that (1) every patient deserves exemplary care and (2) accreditation should not be difficult or costly to achieve if you focus on what matters most, Safety – Honesty – Caring.® It is a philosophy that providers immediately embrace when they start working with TCT and see how our simplified and patient-centric standards enhance their existing business model.

Product Overview n Our new Clinical Disease Management program recognizes a

pharmacy’s expanding role from a transaction-based to a clinicalbased services practice.

The Compliance Team recently developed and launched a new program that focuses on clinical disease management (CDM). Pharmacies that achieve the CDM recognition are acknowledged for their roles in helping patients with diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases improve their overall health outcomes and quality of life. The program encourages pharmacies to transform from a transaction-based practice to a services and value-based care practice that promotes continuous, proactive, and patient-centered care in the community. “ I look at value-based a couple different ways. I think most people just equate it to pay-for-performance, so if there’s not additional dollars in the mix, then why do it? … I see value-based as your pharmacy bringing more value to the patient, to the community, and to the prescriber. It’s all about positive results.”

— Sandra Canally, Founder and CEO

n Operational Excellence Leads to Clinical Excellence Clinical Disease Management is available either as a sub-specialty of our Community Pharmacy program, the foundation of our pharmacy suite of services, or as a stand-alone certification program. Community Pharmacy, like all TCT programs, is operations-based, which makes it easier for pharmacies to integrate the standards into their day-to-day operations.

Community Pharmacy accredits your facility and all the products and services you provide, setting your pharmacy apart from the competition.

In fact, we believe so strongly in our Community Pharmacy program that when we introduced Community Pharmacy in 2012, we bundled it with our Part B DMEPOS program. You get two accreditation designations for the price of one. n Our Pharmacy Accreditation Programs Include: • Community Pharmacy (the core of all pharmacy programs) • CMS Approved Medicare Part B — DMEPOS • Long-Term Care • Sterile and Non-sterile Compounding (USP Chapters 795, 797, and 800) • In-Store Clinic • Mail Order • TelePharmacy • Patient-Centered Pharmacy Home™ • CMS Approved Home Infusion Therapy (HIT) n Our Pharmacy Certification Programs • Point-of-Care Testing Certification • Immunization Certification (Adult and Pediatric) • Clinical Disease Management Certification n Simplified approach. Team commitment to YOU. The TCT approach is superior, but it is our team that truly makes the difference. Our commitment to service is personal, genuine, and tailored to your facility’s needs.

For over 25 years, our team of full-time advisors has worked closely with providers to ensure that they are getting the insights and preparation they need to plan for accreditation or renewal. Our advisors are expert evaluators who are trained and equipped to save you time and money.

It is a personal level of service and care that is unmatched in the industry. n The Compliance Team difference from start to finish. Included with every accreditation:

• A one-on-one advisor who walks you through the standards via a call series.

• Policy and procedures templates — saving you time.

• Self-assessment checklists to help you attain and retain your accreditation status.

• Live and recorded webinars, making the accreditation process flow more smoothly.

MORE THAN A VENDOR, A TRUE PARTNERSHIP HMRx and Innovatix Grow their Business with Scriptmax BACKGROUND On-site pharmacy teams allow for more responsive care and reduced medication errors. This sentence represents the value proposition of HMRx Pharmacy services (HMRx), a service line of HMR Veterans Services, Inc. (HMRVSI). In 2012, HMRVSI expanded its offerings to state veterans’ homes because they could bring a high-level of expertise in pharmacy operations. They also understood the significance and unique needs of serving those who served.

Michael McBride II Director of Operations ~ HMRx, LLC

HMRx has the privilege of serving nine veterans’ homes across four states where they take on the risk and liabilities, manage medications, and navigate VA formularies and payment sources.

“We are proud that many states choose HMRx to provide cost-effective services for a continuum of care for our veterans,” stated Michael McBride II, director of operations, HMRx, LLC. “Supporting these homes means establishing a gold standard in pharmacy services.”

GOALS To deliver on every level of pharmacy operations, HMRx assesses areas of improvement. One of the most pressing items is eliminating any roadblocks to receiving the maximum reimbursements on pharmacy prescription claims.

“Along with our growth goal came the imperative to identify revenue opportunities and ensure that 100% of claims are reviewed, adjudicated, processed, and paid at the maximum reimbursement levels,” said McBride.

HMRx knew it needed to streamline its Medicare Part D plans electronic funds processes, and that meant achieving three objectives: 1. Improve efficiencies. Specifically, move from a 15-page report and paper check reconciliations and transition all 835 files to reconcile and transfer funds electronically.

2. Maximize cash flow by minimizing errors with a reconciliation process.

3. Support the team by simplifying claims reviews and making reporting faster and easier.

The aim of HMRx is for a continuous deficiency-free approach, ensuring every pharmacy contract meets all state and federal requirements.

CHALLENGES HMRx dealt with antiquated tools and processes, causing delays and lost revenue. The existing pharmacy software didn’t have the full reporting to sift through the information and expedite the Medicare Part D claims. And the amount of information required for each claim created dozens of barriers to receiving maximum reimbursement.

“

It was the personal touch from the team at Innovatix that was always present.

Their team was always responsive and always quick to follow up on questions.

Those are things you can’t always put a dollar figure on, but they matter.”

Michael McBride II Director of Operations ~ HMRx, LLC

“It was like flying blind and navigating without a compass,” said McBride. “We didn’t have the latest technology, and we were dealing with a large volume of prescription claims each month."

It takes time away from patient care if pharmacy directors have to review each claim for inaccuracies, find missing data, or make corrections within the post-adjudication deadline.”

INNOVATIX HMRx turned to their long-standing partner, Innovatix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premier, Inc., to meet goals and address obstacles. They had developed a new web-based tool, Scriptmax, to provide the needed pharmacy data analytics and adjudication services. This solution offered comprehensive pre-edit, post-edit, and reconciliation services.

The partnership with Innovatix started when HMRx chose them as their Medicare Part D network services agency because they excelled at favorable AWP discounts, competitive contracts for DMEs, PDPs, and PBMs, and strong support for their fraud, waste, and abuse program.

“When I came on board in 2014, Innovatix was already a mainstay vendor of HMRx,” said McBride.

“The team had spoken highly of their work, but as part of my charge, I assessed all the current contracts by conducting a thorough review of all vendors. Innovatix came out on top.”

McBride’s due diligence involved comparing vendors who could help grow pharmacy offerings and improve operations.

“It was the personal touch from the team at Innovatix that was always present. Their team was always responsive and always quick to follow up on questions. Those are things you can’t always put a dollar figure on, but they matter,” said McBride. “We were growing, and we wanted Innovatix to grow with us. We had and still remain that type of partnership.”

HMRx had such a good experience with the Innovatix’s Preferred Provider Network, the company’s Medicare Part D reimbursement solution, that they decided to roll all nine pharmacies under the program.

“Innovatix ensured Part D contracts were loaded and billed accurately or not billed at all,” McBride said.

“Bottom line, we’ve never had any issues. So turning to Innovatix for our reimbursement claims was a no-brainer, especially when we looked at the financials. It didn’t make sense to go somewhere else.”

When it came to finding a solution for improved adjudication and analytics, management assessed options and demoed systems but again chose Innovatix to add another layer of value with Scriptmax.

“Scriptmax is now our engine in all of our locations,” said McBride. “And the feature that has made a huge difference is the real-time resolution.”

SCRIPTMAX Both Innovatix and HMRx take pride in their relationship because they want great things for each other. Their philosophy is to surround each other with good people and do good work for the veterans’ homes.

HMRx has had Scriptmax for five years, and the following details the features of why McBride and team are satisfied with the system.

TURNKEY “Our existing methods were antiquated, so to transition to an effortless system that installed easily and required minimal training made a huge difference,” said McBride. “Innovatix did all the heavy lifting to get us going. We immediately reaped the benefits of all its features.”

The technology is turnkey and operating system agnostic, allowing simple, straightforward integration with any pharmacy software system and switch. No complex system integration is required. www.innovatix.com

“

REAL TIME

Our existing methods were antiquated, so to transition to an effortless system that installed easily and required minimal training made a huge difference.”

Michael McBride II Director of Operations ~ HMRx, LLC

Pharmacy operations at the state veterans’ homes now experience real-time claim validation, reducing incomplete and inaccurate claims and minimizing rejected claims. Scriptmax updates the average wholesale price (AWP), verifies national drug code numbers (NDC), and reviews brand name drugs for appropriate dispensing.

“Mistakes happen, and now we catch them earlier,” said McBride. “Correcting data saves money.”

ANALYTICS Before Scriptmax’s analytics, it took HMRx double the time to do all the necessary reporting. Now all nine pharmacies and corporate get real-time data daily and weekly to make the best decisions.

“The first day we stated our reporting needs, and Innovatix built it. They customized reports during the install that still work well for us now,” said McBride. “The labor-intensive reporting is a thing of the past.”

Key features of the report package include: • Actionable reports to reduce future claim errors.

• Margin analyses.

• Contract rate verification.

RECONCILIATION All the features come together to make Scriptmax’s reconciliation process cost-effective.

The third-party payment review and contract rate compliance provides reassurance to the management team. The reconciliation feature flags unpaid or underpaid claims, reduces write-offs, and tracks reimbursements and rate discrepancies.

“Pharmacies have the option of uploading 835 files or having Scriptmax obtain them on their behalf,” said McBride.

RESULTS “Our pharmacy directors do everything, so if there is any way or anything we can do to lessen their workload, we’re going to do it,” said McBride. “And we can do it because the Innovatix team are partners in solving some of the pharmacy billing concerns that have come to light over the years.”

Innovatix has delivered with Scriptmax as it ensures that the pharmacy is being paid according to the contracts. The state benefits from improved operations, and the veterans get the service they deserve.

As HMRx expanded to nine pharmacies, Innovatix grew with them, allowing HMRx to achieve longterm success. The pharmacies have realized a better cash flow, more accurate claims submission, and increased efficiencies.

CONCLUSION All HMRx’s pharmacies receive the intelligence and tools they need to realize their revenue potential.

“I’ve worked with Innovatix since I started at HMRx and when you have a great rapport with people, and they exceed expectations for seven years, you don’t fix, what is not broken,” said McBride.

“When we look at the financials, it wouldn’t make sense to go with any other vendor.”

This partnership works because of the big themes of trust and transparency. It also works because little things matter, such as picking up the phone and talking, brainstorming ideas, and putting the needs of the veterans first.

CAS E S TU DY HEALTHPOINT CHOOSES LIBERTY SOFTWARE TO EMPOWER THE PHARMACY TEAM BACKGROUND With strong roots in the King County community in Washington State, HealthPoint, a level 3 patientcentered medical home, cares for more than 100,000 people at 20 primary care facilities. There are 11 pharmacies across the health system: nine traditional site pharmacies, one central fill pharmacy, and one specialty pharmacy.

Katya Kanevski Director of Pharmacy Services ~ HealthPoint

This case study examines one of HealthPoint’s high-profile upgrades — a new pharmacy management solution by profiling Director of Pharmacy Services, Katya Kanevski. She shares the analysis and decision-making process that led to selecting Liberty Software to build their personalized pharmacy platform.

INTENDED OUTCOME Robust dispensing software is about accuracy, efficiency, productivity, compliance, safety, and adaptability to meet ever-changing business and compliance needs. Kanevski wanted a low-touch system to support the delivery of high-touch pharmacy-based services for patients.

“Pharmacists’ time is valuable and stretched thin. We need to free up their time with a system that allows for dispensing efficiency and technological solutions,” said Kanevski. “We can do more for our patients by spending less time on manual tasks.”

Healthpoint needed a system that could clearly identify certain patient population groups, such as urgent care patients or school-based clinics, to meet unique needs for filling and distribution accurately.

“Many requirements exist to meet the needs of a diverse pharmacy business,” said Kanevski. “Our goal is always to provide an enhanced level of dispensing safety, accuracy, and tools to adhere to 340B regulations.”

Kanevski’s aim centered on perfecting the pharmacy customers’ experience through operational excellence. Leading the team of 75 pharmacy staff involved providing the tools needed for directly engaging in delivery of high-quality patient consultations and clinical services like immunizations and CGM placements/training.

CHANGES AND CHALLENGES “We were not as efficient as we needed to be. And we had a limited system,” said Kanevski. “We needed to position ourselves competitively against the rapidly changing pharmacy landscape.”

The pain points for the pharmacy team included too much manual intervention that made processes cumbersome. Central fill had too many moving parts.

CAS E S TU DY Criteria for Vendor Selection • Offer an increased level of patient safety and overall security.

• Streamline and customize workflows and improve dispensing efficiency.

• Support growth plans.

• Deliver a true central fill model.

• Meet regulatory requirements.

• Provide hassle-free inventory control and reporting.

• Enhance patient communication features.

The pharmacy department needed to tighten operations and gain dispensing efficiencies by reallocating pharmacists’ time to pharmacy-based services.

“We were looking for a vendor that could grow with us in every way: support our growing locations as well as changing pharmacy and patient needs,” said Kanevski.

THE DECISION TO PARTNER WITH LIBERTY SOFTWARE The pharmacy team conducted a SWOT, which produced the following primary requirements that guided the choice for a new system (see side-bar).

The pharmacy leadership team assessed numerous vendors and narrowed the field to three front runners. Then other departments and the rest of the pharmacy team conducted a final review where they selected the Liberty Software Pharmacy Platform as the system that best addressed their requirements.

The team’s decision has been validated time and again because Liberty has excelled on delivering on the following areas:

n A Smooth Transition “Liberty is a phenomenal partner,” said Kanevski. “We received a tremendous amount of support led by a strong implementation manager that oversees everything.”

Liberty brought in two support members for each clinic pharmacy, one for the specialty pharmacy, and five for central fill. The support team stayed on-site for three days after go-live to ensure a smooth transition.

“This was expected to be a very challenging experience. However, looking back, it was an easy installation,” said Kanevski. “When you see workflows come together and staff acknowledging the ease, you know it was a successful transition.”

n Workflow Efficiencies “Our 11 pharmacies talk to each other like never before,” said Kanevski. “We can do central fill and handle the complex workflow.”

The platform’s ease stems from the specially designed embedded workflow technology that includes data entry, RPH check, count, and verify. The system also accommodates remote working, which is valuable for HealthPoint’s pharmacy operations.

“The pandemic showed us that not everyone has to or can do work from a certain place. The platform allows for remote work, which is critical with the current labor shortage,” said Kanevski.

n 340B Liberty offers many solutions for HealthPoint. One that stands out is the many features to support the 340B pharmacy program. The platform allows the team to work more confidently due to the system’s tools to support compliance requirements.

“The essence of why Liberty is great for our 340B program is its ability to track documentation required for program compliance by HRSA,” said Kanevski.

Liberty allows for a robust way to enter and track notes if documentation is missing. It also features an easy way to mark prescribers and patients as eligible for the 340B program so medications will not get filled outside the program boundaries.

“

n Patient Communications

Liberty is a phenomenal partner, we received a tremendous amount of support led by a strong implementation manager that oversees everything.”

Katya Kanevski Director of Pharmacy Services ~ HealthPoint

“When reviewing Liberty, their outbound messaging capabilities were far superior. Liberty’s other unique features made automation flexible and superior to anything we reviewed,” said Kanevski.

Liberty has built-in translations for labels for Spanish and Vietnamese and can integrate 18 more languages based on patient population needs.

n Patient Refill Options A key feature of the platform, MedSync, synchronizes filling medications simultaneously. Patients can be signed up to auto refill their chronic medications every month, which aids in adherence and streamlines workflow even more for predictive refills.

Liberty’s software includes an online app that patients can use to order refills. It also includes an online scheduling tool allowing patients to schedule appointments for clinical services.

These features are added benefits that came built in with the system, which saved HealthPoint the expense of hiring additional third party vendors.

n Support “Liberty’s technical support is unbeatable. When a staff member or any one of the system administrators need help, Liberty is there for us, providing great support by phone, chat, or email,” said Kanevski.

RESULTS The Liberty Software Pharmacy Platform integrated a central dispensing function, shipping, and outbound engagement, resulting in increased in-house and remote productivity.

“A pharmacy management system should enable staff to provide better service. Liberty did this for us,” said Kanevski. “We went from an inefficient system that required numerous clicks and workarounds to a modern system that improves productivity through customized workflows.”

The differentiation that stood out was that Liberty assigned a success manager for the first six weeks after installation to troubleshoot and answer questions. And after six weeks, they provide a permanent account manager to provide upgrades and support.

“If a feature didn’t exist, Liberty’s agility allowed them to build it for us,” said Kanevski. “They don’t sit on a request. It is a problem-solving organization.”

The bottom line, HealthPoint can quantify the efficiencies, and operations are smooth and tied together more than ever before amongst all pharmacy facilities.

CONCLUSION “Liberty delivered on what Liberty promised,” said Kanevski. “The platform does so much more than what we had.”

The technology redefined their operations to increase accountability and assure regulatory compliance. Liberty Software helped HealthPoint increase patient safety, enhance customer service, and improve workflow efficiencies.

PHARMACY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Q & A

& Q A

Eric Shoffner, BPharm

Features and benefits to consider when buying or using a pharmacy management system.

Q. How user-friendly is the (pharmacy management software) “system”?

From past experience, I have found that a difficult system can be mastered by long-term and committed employees (pharmacist/techs). I have also found that turnover is a major factor in our industry. Always has been. We wanted a system that was easy to use and understand, intuitive, friendly, robust, and powerful but not overwhelming and complicated. It had to have an appeal and a modern look.

Long gone are the days of typewriters, dot matrix printers, and monochrome green screens. Everyone likes fresh, neat, and clean, and these systems exist. Don’t settle for less.

Q. How long should it take a knowledgeable person to be efficient or proficient on a system?

The longer it takes, the greater your chance of having chosen a cumbersome system. We can train a fourth-year pharmacy student/intern with no experience and have them to 75% efficiency within 45 minutes to two hours. That time frame has helped us to set the bar for expectations of people new to our system. We have done this very thing 80 times in the past five years. A system should NOT ever leave the trainer or the trainee feeling defeated. If so, you have the wrong system.

56

SPRING 2022

I

R E TA I L / C O M M U N I T Y • S P E C I A LT Y • LT C

Growth and expansion.

Q. Does the system evolve? Morph to change?

If it does not, you end up with an up-and-coming “door stop.” A system that evolves and is incredible should be an expectation. Our best and most recent example would have to be COVID-19 vaccines. Our developer worked with their stores and set us all up for success by allowing us to build “templates” for each vaccine. Once done, we simply entered the patient name and the vaccine wanted and all other fields were pre-populated. Our staff could process a vaccine in seconds versus minutes. The same exact benefit came with ALL other vaccines: Flu, Shingles, MMR, Tdap, etc.

Vaccines are now one of our staff’s favorite entries. Billing was refined as well. We have processed well over 10,000 vaccines since COVID-19 started, and we could not imagine the difficulties we would have faced if we did not have a great partner in our vendor.

Q. Does your pharmacy management software vendor listen and modify according to needs and requests?

We all have special tasks we do or need that make our pharmacies unique. Can your vendor adapt? Will they?

And if they can and tell you the time frame is July, be sure to ask “what year?”

Q. Do they have competent tech support?

What’s their wait time?

When you are a down store, you want help NOW. For example, your cash register not working, computer fax not receiving faxes, the printer not working, you’re unable to fill

Q. What does the pharmacy management software system cost?

Watch out for the “add ons” (equipment cost and monthly service contract). Know what you are getting. For example, if they offer you text messaging and then charge you 50 cents per text — yes, you have it but you can’t afford it.

Q. Can they link into robust reporting systems such as State Vaccine Registries, Prescription Monitoring Programs, etc.?

Our system auto reports all our vaccines and control data.

We have heard nightmare stories from our peers of manual entries and hours and hours of added and needless work.

Q. Do they have a vast selection of (pre-populated) business reports?

Most of us use the same/similar reports for business decisions or accounting purposes. Including the need for end-of-month reports for our accountants, quick price reports for client inquires, and patient profile requests, etc.

Q. Does your system make you “smarter”?

If you cannot hit one button and find out EXACTLY where any patient’s meds are at any given time — you are missing out. Modern systems make you smarter and are designed to make you look so. We can hit a “hotkey” and type a few letters of a patient’s name to discover exactly where that patient’s meds are in our system. For example, with one button, we can locate the patient and see where their prescriptions are (fridge, will-call bin, with the pharmacist, at input, etc.). Our software even tells price and location in real time.

Safety Features.

This is actually number one and should be an EXPECTATION — that is why we listed it as number 10 and not one. A great pharmacy management system should prevent errors, not cause them! There are so many tools that can aid the pharmacy team: image scanners, barcode scanners, NDC checks, tablet images, counting devices/robots, visual images of actual products dispensed, just to name a few. All of these advancements should be able to be integrated into your system and if they can’t, you might have the wrong system.

PHARMACY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Q & A

ANY prescriptions, the server is down or not responding, you experience a black screen — machine not responding to any key strikes, etc. Waiting to have a report built for a special purpose is not a demand but a request. If you know the difference, make sure your vendor does as well.

Company Background Medi-Dose/EPS was founded in 1971 when Milton Braverman, a former pharmaceutical company territory manager, saw the need for inexpensive, manual unit dose packaging.

He developed the Medi-Dose System to package, handle, and dispense predetermined amounts of medication so they would be accessible for one regular dose.

Case Study

Reasor’s Pharmacy Uses Supplylogix® Integrated Inventory Management Suite to Increase Sell Through and Improve Efficiencies Chain Realizes Significant Inventory Savings in Just Twelve Months Using Supplylogix® Pinpoint Inventory Management Product Suite Yielded Significant Results in Just One Year: • Managed $1.5M in transfers of medications between stores • Eliminated handling fees (to zero) with full integration with McKesson Connect • Achieved 90% sell-through rate and 70% transfer approval rate • Reduced time spent on supplier returns from 2 hours to 20 minutes • Real time, accurate inventory counts with full integration with EnterpriseRx® • Improved staff efficiency and patient engagement

Summary Reasor’s is a full-service grocery store chain based in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. The chain operates 17 stores with pharmacies in each location.

David McGehee is the Director of Pharmacy for the retail chain. He enthusiastically talked about the successes that the stores have achieved using the EnterpriseRx pharmacy management system and the Supplylogix suite of inventory management products.

McGehee expresses high satisfaction for EnterpriseRx, noting that Reasor’s has been happily using it for nine years. He also praises the Supplylogix Pinpoint suite they have used for the last year, which fully integrates with EnterpriseRx.

David McGehee Director of Pharmacy Reasor’s LLC

“

He enthusiastically speaks about the value that the Pinpoint line has added to their business, saying: “Using Supplylogix for our inventory management has put us light years ahead of what we were doing… we saw half a million dollars in inventory reduction in just 12 months by managing 100% of our inventory through Pinpoint Order®… it shows how effectively the program works.”

Supplylogix’s integration with EnterpriseRx provides real-time, accurate information and the analytical capabilities they desire to improve decision making and automate the transfer process between stores.

Using Supplylogix for our inventory management has put us light years ahead of what we were doing…

”

Objectives Reasor’s recently identified some key areas where they could increase efficiencies, including ways to better manage their on-hand inventory and revamp their ordering processes for medications. They also wanted to minimize loss and reduce inventory expenditures.

“And, by using Pinpoint Order, pharmacy managers can now use all kinds of analytical data which helps us make better decisions. The stores have seen decreases in out-of-stock levels, meaning customers don’t have to return multiple times for partial fills.”

Desiring to better serve their customers, promote better outcomes, and improve the bottom line, they turned to Pinpoint Order®, Pinpoint Transfer®, and Pinpoint Count® to help in their quest.

“I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the time saved using the Supplylogix suite. The increase in staff efficiencies cannot be overstated.”

Prior to adopting Supplylogix solutions, McGehee says: “We did not have a good method for inventory management before—we were old school—we reordered drugs only after we sold them.”

Reasor’s also wanted to generate accurate inventory counts to ensure the right medication, at the right time, and at the right store.

“

Achieving a 90% sell-through rate in just one year again shows just how effective Pinpoint Transfer is.

”

Pinpoint Count has also been a game-changer for Reasor’s.

This automated, configurable tool cycles through Reasor’s top NDC movers. The tool then routinely sends a specific quantity of these drugs to the pharmacy in a cycle count to ensure an accurate quantity on hand. Pinpoint Count then automatically updates EnterpriseRx.

“The staff now also enjoys spending time doing other things, like providing more clinical services, counseling, and patient outreach due to the efficiencies and time savings gained from using the Supplylogix inventory management product suite.”

Future Plans

Pinpoint Transfer has managed almost $1.5M transfers in the past 10-month period; resulting in a 70% transferapproval rate; and a sell-through rate of almost 90%.

“Continue to Build Off of Our Recent Successes”

“Additionally, the sharing of data between three key areas--our pharmacies; Supplylogix; and our ordering system (McKesson Connect) -- allowed us to reduce handling fees to zero.”

”

“Again, that full integration between our pharmacy system and the Supplylogix solutions is key to knowing our inventory levels are correct at any given time,” McGehee says.

Results

“Pinpoint Transfer’s ability to ‘talk’ with EnterpriseRx means that we return what we actually need to return, based on the system’s data driven recommendations, and not return just what we think needs to be returned.”

“

We have a great McKesson Supplylogix team that we’ll continue to work with to help our pharmacies be ‘best in class.’

We look forward to using the complete suite of products to grow and improve our business. I am excited to be a Supplylogix partner…it’s been a great experience.

Using continuously generated Supplylogix data, Reasor’s anticipates they can regularly optimize inventory levels. They also eagerly implement new Supplylogix features and product enhancements.

Supplylogix products are designed with regular customer input and testing, and Reasor’s is now an active partner for future Supplylogix product releases.

“Now that we’ve been up and running with Supplylogix and can see inventory data, we can analyze that data, act on it, and become a more proactive and effective pharmacy for our customers,” says McGehee.

TEMPERATURE INTELLIGENCE®

Peace of mind for your patients Temperature monitoring for direct-to-patient shipments Getting medication to patients in the right temperature range is critical for reducing unnecessary reshipments. Including a TransTracker® in outgoing medication shipments can help. These inexpensive, singleuse indicators monitor temperature exposures – letting your patients know at-a-glance whether medication has gotten too hot or too cold while in transit.

Company Background

Zebra empowers organizations to thrive in the on-demand economy by making every front-line worker and asset at the edge visible, connected and fully optimized. With an ecosystem of more than 10,000 partners across more than 100 countries, Zebra serves customers of all sizes – including 94% of the Fortune 100 – with an award-winning portfolio of hardware, software, services and solutions that digitize and automate workflows. Supply chains are more dynamic, customers and patients are better served, and workers are more engaged when they utilize Zebra innovations that help them sense, analyze, and act in real time.

In 2021, Zebra expanded its industrial automation portfolio with its Fetch Robotics acquisition and increased its machine vision and AI software capabilities with the acquisitions of Adaptive Vision and antuit.ai.

Product Overview

Zebra’s portfolio of solutions includes: Specialty printing and supplies, barcode scanning, mobile computing and rugged tablets, RFID and realtime location systems (RTLS), intelligent workforce management and execution solutions, data services and prescriptive analytics, support, managed and professional services, intelligent automation systems and temperature monitoring and sensing solutions. Our comprehensive temperature monitoring and sensing portfolio, manufactured by Temptime, meets the cold chain needs of specialty pharmacies and their patients. This portfolio includes: • Visual, low-cost, chemically-based heat and freeze indicators for blood products, vaccines, biologics, and other medication during storage.

• Heat and freeze indicators for monitoring medication during shipment.

• Sophisticated electronic, wireless temperature and humidity monitoring systems with cloud-based data storage and sharing.

Zebra is striving to improve supply chain efficiency, global health, and patient care through the effective deployment of devices and solutions that identify temperature excursions and provide information so that action can be taken.

Product Specifications n Wireless Monitoring Systems The family of wireless Bluetooth®-enabled sensors monitor and record temperature data 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The W-200 is designed for facilities and warehouses, monitoring both temperature and humidity in medication storage areas to help with accreditation compliance and regulatory requirements. Data can be accessed remotely using a web-based application and customized alerts notify users instantly if any areas have exceeded temperature limits.

The M-300 and S-400 programmable dataloggers are ideal for monitoring temperatures during transport or storage, letting users: • View and share temperature data with a free mobile app.

• Customize alarm limits, datalogging intervals, startup options, and more.

• Store unlimited data on the cloud and generate reports with a complementary web app. n Package Performance Qualification Testing For specialty pharmacies, package performance qualification (PPQ) testing ensures that the shipment packaging is able to provide the necessary temperature range for the required period of time during transport of critical and often lifesaving medications to patients.

More than that, PPQ testing is also required for certain pharmacy accreditations, such as URAC. These wireless monitoring devices help specialty pharmacies simplify PPQ testing while providing data and information to optimize packouts. Customized third-party PPQ testing services also help meet the requirements of pharmacy networks that make third-party validation testing a condition of participation. n TransTracker® Shipment Indicators TransTracker® visual temperature indicators monitor medication heat and freeze events during shipment. They are simple to read and understand, so patients can tell at a glance if medication has been handled within the appropriate temperature range. These devices instill a higher level of patient confidence so that unnecessary, costly reshipments due to suspected temperature damage can be reduced or eliminated. These cost-effective, single-use indicators also help specialty pharmacies comply with state regulations.

Testimonial

97% of medication recipients said they prefer a specialty pharmacy that uses the TransTracker® indicator in its shipments.*

* Based on “Experience of Specialty Pharmacies in TransTracker Product-in-Use Patient Research” with over 8,000 patient responses.

The Newest Addition to the Axial® Multi-Dose Adherence Packager Family is Here: The Axial® RMD-130U Prescription filling and dispensing has never been faster, easier, or more adaptable to a wide variety of workflows.

Increase revenue, improve patient care, and differentiate your pharmacy with smart and economical automation.

Get all the benefits of our other revolutionary Axial® machines—with even more flexibility.

We’ve expanded on the capabilities of our Axial® RMD-144 by adding 4 universal canisters to address the concerns associated with changing NDC numbers.

This next-generation technology offers smaller, quieter, and more efficient pill packaging than ever before.

With 130 canisters, 4 Universal Canisters, and a Manual Fill Tray, you’ll always have multiple options for your workflow — without sacrificing speed or reliability.

Even with changing NDC numbers, you don’t have to worry about getting a new medication into a canister.

The Universal Canisters minimize the potential for operator errors and can be used with medications that do not have a canister.

Like the Axial® RMD-144 and RMD-352, the RMD-130U uses a revolutionary new rotary design, has an integrated dehumidifier, and is among the smallest, quietest, and most durable productivity-enhancing machines on the market.

This sleek design also allows for easy access to the RFID canisters, and you can run and fill canisters at the same time, giving you more time to provide quality patient care.

Invest in the future of your business and in the health of your community today! Contact us for a quote, free demo or ROI analysis.

All of our machines are built to last and are backed by our industry-leading customer service team.
