Now the clocks have gone back and as winter approaches, it's time to consider flu season and the support you may need. Our October newsletter also brings news of the newly integrated Booking and Referrals System for community pharmacies, invites to our upcoming EMIS-X webinars and an overview of our latest ScriptCheck feature.

Streamline dispensing workflows with ScriptCheck

Approve prescriptions for dispensing more quickly with ScriptCheck, available to all ProScript Connect users, at no additional cost.

We know that to focus on clinical service delivery, your pharmacy needs the right digital tools to streamline daily tasks without compromising clinical safety.

ScriptCheck improves your dispensing workflow by reducing the time spent on repeat prescriptions, allowing you to step away from the bench and focus more on clinical service delivery.

Learn more about the latest update for ProScript Connect here. Or contact a member of our community pharmacy team for activation details at communitypharmacy@emishealth.com

Booking and Referrals Standard (BaRS) is now live for community pharmacies

NHS England’s Booking and Referrals Standard (BaRS) enables the quick and secure sharing of patient information between healthcare settings in a standardised format. This means pharmacies will soon be able to exchange information across any BaRS compliant systems, supporting the safe and effective delivery of care.

We’ve been working to fully integrate BaRS capabilities for our PharmOutcomes customers, and we’re pleased to announce that this project is now complete. Although these updates won’t affect the user experience, they will allow us to further develop our PharmOutcomes solution to support the future capabilities of BaRS.
