Competitors from our area have offered software that did not stand the "test of use" in hospital pharmacies.
Our software, however, has beaten the challenge in side-by-side tests and has been selected as the pharmacist's
choice.
Why has our software been selected over our competitors? Listen to our customers:
- "Pharm-Filer is simple and easy to learn."
- "When I have a question, your telephone support is very helpful."
- "The speed at which we can fill our orders has increased significantly."
- "We like the drug and I.V. labels, and the automatic patient charge records."
- "Without Pharm-Filer our end-of-year inventory took eight hours. With Pharm-Filer we were finished
in four hours."
- "I'd recommend Pharm-Filer to any small hospital."
We listen to our pharmacies and accommodate their changing needs. "Listening to your needs" is not
a slogan: it's the way we do business.
About our software
Pharm-Filer 4.2, is a complete, network-ready, hospital pharmacy management program for hospitals with less than
400 beds. Designed around unit-dose distribution, our software produces patient profiles; medication administration
records; formulary and drug usage reports; monthly, daily, and discharge billing reports; workload statistics and
much more. Our "export function" lets our billing system interface with the hospital's billing system
for electronic data transfer.
Although we are a Medi-Span "Preferred Vendor", the Medi-Span databases are not necessary to run Pharm-Filer.
However, the Medi-Span databases enable Pharm-Filer to provide up-to-date drug pricing information, patient drug
interactions, patient prior adverse reaction warnings, patient counseling and patient education.
Our patient profiles include:
- Demographics and administrative information
- Allergy information
- Medication information (scheduled and PRN; drug and IV)
- Patient notes.
Our patient reports include:
- Profile report
- Physician's daily report
- Demographics & allergies report
- Daily & discharge billing reports
- "Interim" billing reports for SNF patients
- Medication administration records
- Duplicate therapy reports
- Drug Interaction reports with Medi-Span DTMS or Medi-Span Solution
- Patient notes printouts
- User-defined drug usage review searches
- Workload statistics report
- Cart fill pick lists
- Floor stock pick lists
- and more.
You can print reports for a single patient, a nursing unit, or all patients. Departmental "profiles"
let you keep track of items sent to other areas of the hospital.
Our label formats include:
- Patient name labels
- Medication labels
- IV labels
- Several different unit-dose labels
- Free-form labels.
