Building the Perfect Pharmacy Software System

Although the “core” functions are the same for all pharmacies, no two stores operate exactly the same. For example, the needs of an existing pharmacy with a well-established, loyal customer base may be very different from a brand-new store. That’s why your pharmacy software shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all either. BestRx prides itself on designing software solutions that are not only robust enough to support independent pharmacies nationwide but can be customized to meet the unique needs of each individual store as well. In fact, with BestRx, building the perfect pharmacy software system is easy!

Build Your Perfect Pharmacy Software in 4 Easy Steps:

1. Select Your “Base” Software Tier.

The software functionality your pharmacy needs will depend on things like:

     • The needs of your patients (including any language support that may be needed).

     • Where your prescriptions are coming from (including any nursing home and long-term care facilities you support).

     • The services you offer (including deliveries, online refill requests and remote payment options).

     • Your plans for the future (which could range from adding new services to opening a new store).

These factors will help you to determine what software features are most important for your store. Plus, we haven’t even mentioned the elephant in the room yet… your budget. You may want all the bells and whistles, but the associated cost may end up bumping some features from your “must-have” to your “someday” list. This is why BestRx offers multiple options for a pharmacy’s “base” system. Rest assured, all our software tiers include the essentials, like:

     • Access to the MediSpan database.

     • Electronic prescribing, claim submissions and adjudication.

     • Customizable dashboards, reports and queues.

     • A DIR estimator tool.

     • LTC and nursing home features.
