Compare PrimeDELIVERY vs. oneMAR

Delivery services have transitioned from being optional to essential components of patient care. Patients now anticipate the convenience of receiving their medications directly at home, and pharmacists are eager to adapt to this demand. However, facilitating medication deliveries involves additional steps to ensure efficiency and compliance. The PrimeDELIVERY solution provides a secure and timely service that adheres to all necessary regulations. A key advantage is that all records are integrated seamlessly with the PrimeRx operating system. Prescriptions designated for delivery are flagged as "out for delivery" within the pharmacy's system, and once the delivery occurs, this status is updated to "delivered." In the event that a prescription must be returned, the patient’s record is automatically modified to reflect this change. Any undelivered medications are returned to the inventory, with stock levels adjusted accordingly to maintain accuracy. Furthermore, the system proactively requests an electronic signature from the patient prior to the scheduled delivery, ensuring a smooth process. When the patient provides their signature, it is promptly sent back to the pharmacy through PrimeDELIVERY, enhancing the overall efficiency of medication management. This comprehensive approach not only improves patient satisfaction but also streamlines pharmacy operations.

The immediate exchange of medication and patient details fosters teamwork among care groups, including pharmacies, creating a genuine partnership in delivering patient care. Utilizing bar-code scanning during medication administration upholds the “7 rights”: the correct resident, medication, dosage, timing, method, rationale, and documentation. Capturing digital images of each resident and their medications ensures that administration remains precise. Alert notifications help prevent incidents such as missed doses and administering medications to the wrong resident, thereby enhancing safety. Scanning at the point of care not only identifies which medications are due for administration but also clearly indicates when any medications have been stopped. By integrating bar-coded adherence packaging with oneMAR, healthcare facilities can achieve a 2.6-fold increase in efficiency compared to traditional manual medication administration records, cut down medication pass durations by 52%, and eliminate the costs associated with monthly inventory changes. Additionally, sending electronic prescriptions and supply orders directly to the pharmacy streamlines the overall medication management process, improving patient care even further. This technology-driven approach represents a significant advancement in ensuring both accuracy and efficiency in medication administration.
