Short Cycle Dispensing Survey (six questions):

To help assess the needs of pharmacies providing long term care services, RXinsider has developed the following six-question survey. Begin survey by clicking below:

http://rxinsider.net/jump_page/index.php?8485



CMS released its proposal for short cycle dispensing of prescription drugs in long term care facilities.

  • All pharmacies serving long term care facilities have to dispense brand name drugs in no greater than 7-day increments; exceptions are drugs that are difficult to dispense in 7 day increments, such as drops, sprays, etc, as well as that are dispensed for acute illness such as 14 day antibiotics.
  • Part D plans must collect information on the dispensing method used for each dispensing event and on the nature and quantity of any unused drugs returned to the pharmacy. Part D plans must allow for pharmacy to receive credit for unused returned drugs where permitted.
  • CMS revises it definition of Part D dispensing fee as follows: "Dispensing fees should take into consideration the number of dispensing events in a billing cycle, the incremental costs associated with the type of dispensing methodology, and with respect to Part D drugs dispensed in LTC facilities, the techniques to minimize the dispensing of unused drugs. Dispensing fees may also take into account restocking fees associated with return for credit and reuse in long-term care pharmacies, when return for credit and reuse is permitted under the state in law and is allowed under the contract between the Part D sponsor and the pharmacy." However, there are no requirements on Part D plans to pay additional dispensing fees to account for the increased frequency of long term care dispensing.
  • The proposed rule allows some exceptions for "independent community pharmacies", who can dispense up to 14 day supply through December 2013 if the independent serves one or more facilities with fewer than 80 beds, and primarily serves LTC facilities in rural areas.

Rx Care Assurance

Rx Care Asssurance has been providing Short Cycle Dispensing Solutions for over 30 years. The OPUS Medication System is valued by both facilities and pharmacies for the many effiencies it provides. Pharmacies work hard to earn the business of the facilities they service, in turn they want to offer a system that provides added value to their facility clients – OPUS does just that. OPUS Medication Systems help you strengthen existing customer relationships and create new ones by offering products and services that differentiate your pharmacy from others in today's marketplace. Not only is the ease, accuracy and efficiency of the OPUS system a sure selling point, its characteristics can also increase your pharmacy's working capital and reduce labor costs.

As your medication systems partner, our goal is to help you uncover business efficiencies and deliver care facility relationships that produce long-term growth opportunities and profitability.

Short Cycle Fill - Created by a Pharmacist for Pharmacists

OPUS Medication Systems were created by a pharmacist for pharmacists, giving you the flexibility to meet the diverse needs of your facility clients. Choose from 7, 14 and 31-day single-dose and multi-dose systems, all available under one brand.

Long-term Growth

With Rx Care Assurance, we can assist you in tracking and understanding the satisfaction of your care facility clients. We deliver the ongoing expertise and tools you need to ensure high levels of long-term satisfaction and profitability.

Accuracy

Accuracy and organization starts with the OPUS System. Easy-to-handle cassettes are divided into multiple, sealed airtight compartments. The tamper-evident cassettes are color-coded for time of administration and labeled according to dosing schedules and day of the week for increased accuracy. The cassettes are organized in bins, by resident, for easy identification and administration.

Ease of Administration for the Facilities

The OPUS system minimizes effort and stress on the care facility staff. In fact, the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) recognizes two critical design features: (1) the airtight cassette is easier to manage than foil packets, because it doesn’t take strong finger force or a sharp object to release the pill, and (2) the low-profile cart with easy-open drawers reduces fatigue.

Short Cycle Solution - No More Lost Orders

Are you tired of managing errors in the reorder process? The OPUS system uses automatic reordering, saving time for both you and your clients. Planning for the scheduled reorders allows you to efficiently manage your staff and accomplish all tasks in a timely manner.

Strategies to Better Your Bottom Line

OPUS offers the latest products to help make our pharmacy partners as efficient as possible. This includes the newly developed EZ Filler,™ as well as Mobile Storage Carts, pharmacy stations and a host of other products.

As your revenue continues to grow, OPUS works with you to explore pharmacy efficiency strategies you can use to help your bottom-line grow. Our consultants work with all types of pharmacies on a daily basis and have amassed a wealth of knowledge on efficient operations in long-term care pharmacies.

Everything from new pharmacy layout, to efficiency of tech fill teams, to fill station setup is covered when OPUS provides a Pharmacy Efficiency Study. Have one of our Consultants come for a visit or attend one of our upcoming classes.

At this very moment, care facilities across the country are looking for quality local pharmacy providers. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Find out how Rx Care Assurance, powered by OPUS, can help connect you with these facilities and fuel your growth.

Offer the Competitve Advantage

OPUS provides facilities with improved efficiency and error control which gives you a great competitive advantage. We can help you improve workforce management and reduce labor. Maintaining the OPUS system requires less labor than conventional systems. And, the new OPUS EZ Fillers™ can help reduce fill time by over 90 percent. Simply place over an OPUS cassette and fill up to 14 doses in a second!

It's time to find out how we can help you build your business.

Medical Packaging Inc. (MPI) is one of the leading manufacturers of unit-dose packaging solutions with over 35+ years of experience in providing packaging solutions to acute care and long-term care pharmacies, repackaging and specialty markets. MPI continually stays abreast of the ever-changing packaging needs of the pharmacist and develops the solutions that provide the latest technology and compliance to drug packaging guidelines. Additionally, MPI’s unit-dose packaging solutions are uniquely positioned to assist the long-term care (LTC) and extended care (EC) pharmacy in transitioning to the shorter cycle dispensing model recently mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This mandate, which was announced on November 22, 2010, will require the dispensing of medication in cycles of seven (7) days or less instead of the thirty (30) day model traditionally used in these care settings and will support nation-wide efforts to reduce medication waste.

MPI’s suite of pharmacy packaging solutions include state-of-the-art, affordable packaging systems to meet the bar coding, unit dose, and packaging needs of every type of pharmacy. MPI offers packaging solutions for oral solids, liquids, overwrapping and labeling systems, which are available either on an individual basis, a multi-product basis, or as a total solution dependent on the specific packaging requirements of each pharmacy. Coupled with MPI’s exclusive Pak-EDGE™ UD Barcode Labeling Software with access to First DataBank™ drug image and database library, MPI’s pharmacy packaging solutions assist pharmacies with Bedside Point of Care (BPOC) and Bar Coded Medication Administration (BCMA) initiatives.

MPI offers three (3) types of packaging solutions for oral solids. The Auto-Print™ II, which packages sixty (60) packages per minute (ppm), and the Auto-Print™ Express 90, which packages ninety (90) packages per minute (ppm), can produce either a 2” standard or 1.5” custom unit dose package, and the Auto-Print™ Punch Cut Machine (PCM), which produces a 2.5” unit dose package, packages thirty (30) packages per minute (ppm) and features a punched hole in the upper half of the package for use in conjunction with centralized, robotic systems. MPI’s oral solid packaging systems can also be customized to accommodate canister technology available with fully automated packaging solutions utilizing canister technology.

MPI’s offers the Fluidose™ Series 5 packaging solution for oral liquids providing the capability to package bulk liquid medication to unit dose. This high quality, affordable bar coding packaging system for oral liquids allows a pharmacy to increase their packaging speed to up to fifteen (15) packages per minute (ppm) and is offered with two (2) filling options, either the Syringe Pump or optional Baxa® pump to provide a single, bar coded liquid unit dose package to the bedside. An automatic low fluid detection feature is built into the machine controls which pauses liquid packaging when fluid level reaches a level preset by the pharmacy technician. Built-in purge feature cancels the bar code label and automatically clears the system for the next packaging job.

For your ancillary packaging needs, MPI offers two (2) types of overwrapping systems, the Auto-Print™ Bagging System and the Auto-Print™ Max Bagger for Robot Ready packaging, and the Pharmacy Accessory Label Printer labeling system to provide any pharmacy with the appropriate packaging or labeling solution for their parenteral medications.

The DOSIS L60 Meets Your Short-Cycle Needs

Did you know that an L60 can produce 60 fully ready (filled, sealed, and patient labeled) seven-day/count cards at 45 cards per hour? Yes, the same machine for 30/31 Day single medication blister cards is your answer to Short-Cycle Filling Staying with the standard blister card that you are utilizing today, means you can meet your needs without turning everyone's world upside down. The blister cards that are produced by the L60 are ready for the traditional secondary check by a pharmacist in your pharmacy; no rubber banding or boxing and labeling again! The L60 is truly a method for extending your staff to reach your short-cycle demands.

DOSIS® L60 is a robotic solution for completely automating prescription filling, sealing, and patient labeling of 30 or 31-Day single medication blister cards (a.k.a. bingo-cards) in a physically compact enclosure. This solution offers unbounded value to pharmacies in need of higher prescription throughput without extra staffing. DOSIS is the most cost effective automated prescription packaging of blister cards in the market. Blister cards, which typically hold a single medication 30-day supply, are preferred for use in Long Term Care facilities due to their ease of handling, inspecting, and administering to patients. DOSIS has the capacity to run continuously for up to four hours unattended before restocking empty blisters.

Don't let the competition fool you.

Dispensing seven pills into a 30/31 day blister card is not wasteful. Maintaining the same format makes everyone's lives simpler. Blister card cost has proven over the last few decades to be the most cost effective solution to deliver medications in the LTC marketplace. After all, can you glance at a roll or a box of unit dose pouches and validate that the correct medication is in each pouch and the count is correct? The manufacturers of the blister cards have optimized their business to be the most cost effective on the 30/31 day blister card production. Even going to a seven or a 14 day card will not reduce the cost of the 30/31 day blister card cost by half! So the best thing to do is to continue utilizing your existing material and just increasing your volumes for purchasing additional 30/31 day blister card materials.
