Technology

Docutrak is a pharmacy workflow and document management system that automates order handling and reduces processing time with instant document retrieval. Docutrak manages any document type, including admission forms, prescriptions, refill orders, fill-lists, and delivery receipts. Documents are prioritized based on the time they were received or by a priority assigned to them.
Staff can automatically receive alerts when situations occur that need attention. Questions or issues with an order can be noted on the document and be electronically faxed to your facility. Static barcode routing feature allows the system to recognize inbound form barcodes and route the documents to a pre-defined destination. For example, census forms containing a pre-defined form barcode could be scanned or faxed into the system and automatically routed to a pre-determined queue. Dynamic barcode routing takes document routing a step further. A barcode is added to an outbound document so that when it returns it can be stapled to the original. The new combined document is then routed to a pre-defined destination. An application of dynamic barcode routing would include the faxing out a Prior authorization so that it can be stapled to the original upon its return before being moved to the “PA triage” queue
This enhanced communication helps to improve resident outcomes and enables both the facility and pharmacy achieve the highest level of customer service.

QuickMAR’s electronic MAR is a significant improvement over conventional paper-based systems. Meds appear in the system only when they are due. Alerts remind you if you miss a medication enhancing compliance. Bar code scanning ensures you pick the right meds. You are reminded when PRN follow-ups are due. Reports show results of each medication pass and help spot problems on specific wings or with cetain employees medpass times for example. Full color resident photo ensures right resident has been chosen and that it is the right time to give the medication. The photo will be black and white if it is the wrong time.
QuickMAR guides you through the med pass by usung visual cues let you know who has had their meds and who has not.
