What makes our business very unique is the niche service that we offer through the RxASP 20. We can now offer our patients the option of picking up all their prescriptions once a month, organized, so they can easily take them as prescribed, and get them on track to achieve 100% adherence. This really helps our business, but it also helps our patients achieve their health goals. When we prove our patients are adherent we maximize our reimbursements and gain a competitive advantage in the increasingly outcomes-based healthcare environment.

Engineered by RxSafe in the USA, our solutions include high-density, secure medication storage and dispensing systems, and scalable pouch packaging for any size pharmacy or volume.

Unit dose or multi-med adherence for retail and outpatient pharmacy delivery is a breeze. With our PakMyMeds™ program, a patient’s medication needs are contained in one multi-med pouch for a given pass time, allowing retail and hospital outpatient pharmacies to facilitate compliance for a month’s worth of meds. Our RxASP systems can also package all sizes of neutraceuticals. For decades, RxSafe engineers have been designing pharmacy technology. Our customers receive expert installation and training, as well as top-tier customer service and support.
Based in Louisiana, Manchac Technologies developed the DOSIS suite of products to improve pharmacy efficiency and accuracy. Manchac is a local word meaning “better way," and we have built our company around the mission of providing better solutions and even better service to pharmacies. We are proud of the difference we have made over the past decade in the hundreds of pharmacies with which we have partnered. The DOSIS products each focus on three main objectives: 1) reducing the opportunities for pharmacy errors, 2) reducing disorder in the pharmacy by providing automated, predictable, and repeatable processes, and 3) lowering operating costs by eliminating non-value-added activities for the pharmacy staff. All of the DOSIS products are driven by our powerful, highly-configurable software interface. Filling and printing activities can be routed, prioritized, and configured based on any data received from the pharmacy management software. For example, fill patterns (calendar, split-cards, etc.) and label templates can be adapted for different customer facilities or prescription types. DOSIS systems integrate seamlessly to help pharmacies complete daily and cycle prescriptions as well as pre-pack, first dose, and e-kit stock.

Reduce labor and improve workflow by implementing bulk pre-pack equipment for your high moving generics. Three levels of equipment are available: AutoFiller, AutoTrans Shuttle, and AutoTrans Conveyor. Rx Systems’ motorized AutoSealer is the fastest automated-sealer in the marketplace, providing a three-second seal. Add the AutoFiller and you have the least expensive automation for bulk pre-packing pill cards that can fill and seal up to 280 pill cards per hour, and is designed for pharmacies servicing 500-1,000 residents and pre-packing your top 20-50 generics. The AutoTrans is available in two platforms: Shuttle (ATS) and Conveyor (ATX), which can package traditional pill cards, Unit Dose, or OP-Series cards. The ATS is a manual filler/sealer station that can package up to 350 pill cards per hour and is ideal for pharmacies servicing 700-2,000 residents. The linear high-speed ATX peaks at 600 cards per hour, and is the only unit on the market that also applies the pre-pack label vs. doing so in a separate post-production step. ATX is designed for pharmacies servicing 1,000-5,000 residents. The AutoOpen manual heat sealer is a great entry level sealer for pharmacies servicing <500 residents. Rx Systems, Inc. is a family owned full-service provider of pharmacy packaging and supplies including Rx labels, bags, vials, and LTC packaging for community and institutional pharmacies.

For over 45 years, IMI has worked closely with hospital pharmacies and outsource compounders to create innovative products to address very specialized needs. A prime example is our groundbreaking Prep-Lockâ&#x201E;˘ Tamper Evident Caps for IV syringes, oral and enteral dispensers. With our Tamper Evident Caps, USP <797> compliance can be enhanced by securing compounded products from the time they leave the pharmacy until they are administered by a clinician. Both pharmacy directors and risk managers appreciate how IMI Tamper Evident Products can help maintain product integrity and hinder drug diversion. Clinicians appreciate not having to struggle with shrink wrap or sticky tape. IMI innovations extend well beyond secure drug delivery devices. We offer a complete line of sterile caps, connectors, adapters, and more. At IMI, creating products for the compounding pharmacist is our sole focus. As a result, our customers experience the quality, service, and value that only a specialized partner can offer. IMI products are made in the U.S.A. at our FDA registered facility under strict quality controls. Free product samples are always available for evaluation.

Health Engineering Systems Unguator Advanced Mixing Technology Revolutionizing the compounding environment has been the main focus of the Gako Unguator technology. Our aim is to facilitate the quality preparation of formulations developed in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, veterinary, and other similar settings. Utilizing this system allows for compounds to be prepared in a fraction of the time and cost associated with other conventional methods. The Unguator offers an advanced mixing technology in a closed system that optimizes your formulation mixes. This consistent mix is achieved when preparing a variety of formulations, including ointments, creams, gels, suspensions, emulsions, and other similar compounds. The Unguator product assortment also consists of a unique set of mixing jars. These jars are easily distinguished by their patented piston principle push up bottoms. This bottom forms a closed environment, eliminating air intakes and germ contamination, two factors that are commonly associated with manual preparation. These jars serve as multi-functional tools to measure, mix, store, and dispense your compounded formulations. The standard mixing blades used with the Unguator technology are designed to "sweep" the inner wall of the jar during the mix to maximize particle size reduction and the breakup of globules in your preparation.

Imagine a Solution to Lowered 3rd Party Reimbursements. • Increase productivity • Increase accuracy • Increase employee satisfaction

SmartFlow Pharmacy Workflow Raise Your Net Profit and Lower the Stress of Your Employees Several years ago, Don Grove, RPh, started experimenting with J&D Pharmacy’s workflow to increase speed, accuracy, and employee satisfaction due to decreasing third party reimbursements. With the advent of computerized workflow software, he developed the SmartFlow Pharmacy Workflow System. Tools include customized RPh and tech work stations, verification racks, inventory carousels, educational iPad kiosks, and urgency color-coded Rx bundling bags. At the same time, the pharmacy was redesigned to reduce interruptions by patients and allow more transparent interactions among employees. Traditional dispensing is becoming less profitable. Our solution can double or triple the number of prescriptions filled without increasing overhead, especially wages. Our goal is to make it achievable for one pharmacist to verify as many as 500 prescriptions a day and one tech to fill 210 Rx’s a day. We break the dispensing process into various subsets, providing each person in the process with a customized workstation and color-coded bags for prioritizing prescriptions in the workflow. The process is held together with the extensive use of computer technology to track each step of the process. The IBC (Illinois Business Consulting) has verified the increased verifications, accuracy, and employee satisfaction.

Hands-On Accreditation Support for Pharmacies Nationwide
Management and Consulting Services: Optimizing Your Operations
Innovatix, the nation’s leading non-acute care GPO, has a longstanding commitment to helping pharmacies provide the best service at the lowest cost while maximizing reimbursements. We understand that third-party accreditation has become increasingly important to PBMs and other payers for verifying quality and patient safety, and can impact a pharmacy’s reimbursement rates. The Innovatix Accreditation Advisory Services program is designed to support pharmacies in achieving recognition from various accrediting bodies. We offer pharmacies three levels of support to streamline initial accreditation submissions and renewals. In a level 1 engagement, we review your pharmacy’s standards and processes against accreditation measures and help polish your application prior to submission to the accrediting body. A Level 2 engagement is more hands-on, with Innovatix experts helping your staff create the required standards and processes through a series of weekly calls and monthly on-site meetings. Level 3 offers the most comprehensive support through a full-time consultant who prepares your pharmacy’s accreditation submission from start to finish. We also provide mock reviews so your pharmacy is fully prepared for your evaluation. Our services are priced according to an hourly fee model, based on the level of support selected.
There are two parts needed to successfully optimize pharmacy operations — years of industry-leading experience, and technology that is proven to deliver results. Comprehensive Pharmacy Services brings both. With over 40 years of experience, we are driven to find better ways to serve our clients in everything we do. That is why we participate in over 500 regulatory surveys a year. It’s also why we have a specialized team dedicated to finding opportunities to improve patient quality and achieve better outcomes across the entire continuum of care, while uncovering savings along the way. We work side by side with our clients on initiatives from inpatient and outpatient outcomes to the 340B program and we run comprehensive assessments on programs from USP 797 sterile compounding to clinical pharmacy practice. With breakthrough technology and tools, we can show our clients how they line up against their peers and provide the strategies needed to take it to the next level.

Helping You Provide the Highest Standard of Patient Care
Complete Pharmacy Refrigeration Solutions
Helmer Scientific has been providing reliable medical-grade refrigerator and freezer solutions since 1977. We originated in the blood bank market, where precise temperature control is essential to the successful storage of transfusion products. These same principles have been applied to the design and development of Helmer pharmaceutical storage products. We are recognized as the industry leader in providing pharmacy professionals with reliable storage for valuable medications and vaccines, ensuring a high level of patient care and safety. Refrigerators and freezers feature powerful forced-air refrigeration systems that provide superior temperature uniformity and quick recovery. This ensures vaccines and other pharmaceuticals are stored within specified temperature ranges and maintain efficacy, reducing the risk of lost product and supporting regulatory compliance. Upright, undercounter, and pass-thru models are available in both i.Series® and Horizon Series™, offering a choice of monitoring options and features. From the essential alarming capabilities of the Horizon Series to the intelligent information provided by the i.C3® Information Center, exclusive to the i.Series, both lines present a reliable, safe, and effective solution to help you provide the highest standard of patient care.
Our freezer and refrigeration systems offer outstanding performance and reliability, even in higher ambient temperatures and in response to frequent door openings. The cooling system also maintains uniform temperatures throughout the equipment’s interior, which is especially important for GMP applications and vaccine storage. The slim design of refrigerators with optional sliding shelves provide easy product accessibility. Strict temperature regulation limits temperature fluctuation to ± 3 degrees from the set point. Sizes range from 12.0 cu. ft. to 36.5 cu ft. Additional models have separate refrigeration and monitoring systems for the refrigerator/freezer. Capacities range from 6.21 cu. ft. (refrigerator) and 1.38 cu. ft. (freezer) to 14.7cu. ft. and 6.21 cu. ft.

BestRx Pharmacy Software offers you the most user-friendly, affordable, and robust pharmacy management system with our BestRx. BestRx is a cutting-edge pharmacy management software program for independent pharmacies that is extremely easy to use and requires little to no training.

McKesson Pharmacy Systems delivers technology and services that empower you with tools to better care for your patients, optimize your operations, and take action on your data. In addition to three unique pharmacy management systems in McKesson’s portfolio, we offer solutions to help minimize DIR fees, manage patient care, and simplify the management of clinical programs. And, these systems and solutions all work together to help take your pharmacy to the next level. Adherence Performance Solution (APS) helps track your pharmacy’s data against payer performance criteria, such as Star Ratings, and allows you to manage interventions with patients that aren’t compliant with their medications. Improving on these measures can help significantly reduce your pharmacy’s DIR fees, increase revenue and profitability, and improve patient outcomes. Clinical Program Solutions (CPS) helps you manage patient care through clinical programs available on the market, including our APS, and your own customized settings. Alerts appear and allow you to take action on clinical programs directly within the workflow of your pharmacy management system. McKesson Pharmacy System’s suite of products provide time savings, reduced costs, and increased profits. Are you experiencing all three? If not, call for a free consultation and let us partner with you to help optimize your pharmacy’s performance.

Be part of our success story. Thirty-five years ago at a kitchen table in the suburbs of Chicago, a pharmacist helped a corner drug store find some weekend help. On that day, RPh on the Go was officially “on the go” and in business. Today, that little company has grown to become THE industry trailblazer and part of the largest human capital company in the world. During our transition from humble beginnings to the established leader in pharmacy staffing, our goals haven’t changed. Today, we are a network of more than 200,000 qualified pharmacists — more than all our competitors combined.
Thanks for being part of our success story — we are ready to write the next chapter with you.

Community: It’s in our name. As a pharmacist, you recognize the value of community. You aren’t just building a business. You’re building trust, cultivating relationships, and improving the lives of people you care about with each prescription you fill and consultation you deliver. At NCPA, we’re also building a community — of independent pharmacies. We join together to shape good ideas into best practices, to turn challenges into innovations. We’re also a community that speaks as one on the issues that impact your pharmacy and your patients. We have a track record of advocacy successes that demonstrate the power of our collective voice. Our value can be summed up in three words: Advocacy. Connections. Solutions. NCPA member pharmacies feel these benefits every day. We’re NCPA — the National Community Pharmacists Association — and we’re 22,000 pharmacies strong.

Single Dose and Multi Dose Solutions
The “Better Way” for Your Patients and Your Pharmacy
Choose from our wide assortment of heat seal and cold seal pill cards in either single dose or multi-dose packaging. Our color-coded MedTime cards are an excellent way to encourage adherence. Besides traditional 30 or 31 count cards, we also offer Control Cards, 60/62 count and 90 count cards, OP Series (ideal for e-kits), and our unit dose reclaimable packaging. Heat seal cards are recommended for any pharmacy servicing over 100 patients to help lower costs in the long run vs. using cold seal. Three levels of heat seal presses are offered to meet your needs regardless of your size — motorized Autosealer (three second seal time), manual Auto Open (five second seal time), and the 2-card manual Maxx press. Rx Systems, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service provider of pharmacy packaging and supplies including labels, bags, vials, medication cards, and LTC packaging for community and institutional pharmacies.
Based in Louisiana, Manchac Technologies developed the DOSIS suite of products to improve pharmacy efficiency and accuracy. Manchac is a local word meaning “better way," and we have built our company around the mission of providing better solutions and even better service to pharmacies. We are proud of the difference we have made over the past decade in the hundreds of pharmacies with which we have partnered. The DOSIS products each focus on three main objectives: 1) reducing the opportunities for pharmacy errors, 2) reducing disorder in the pharmacy by providing automated, predictable, and repeatable processes, and 3) lowering operating costs by eliminating non-value- added activities for the pharmacy staff. All of the DOSIS products are driven by our powerful, highly-configurable software interface. Filling and printing activities can be routed, prioritized, and configured based on any data received from the pharmacy management software. For example, fill patterns (calendar, split-cards, etc.) and label templates can be adapted for different customer facilities or prescription types. DOSIS systems integrate seamlessly to help pharmacies complete daily and cycle prescriptions as well as pre-pack, first dose, and e-kit stock.

CsRx™ Controlled Substance Waste Service
Pharmacy Will-Call Solutions for Retail and Outpatient Pharmacies
All hospitals recognize that controlled substance diversion presents a very big risk and have procedures and policies in place to prevent diversion from occurring. We have developed the CsRx Service for hospitals to enhance their existing security procedures to dispose of controlled substances in a safe and efficient manner. Each Stericycle CsRx container will contain a preloaded deactivating agent and deterrent, which will require water to activate. Once the deactivating agent and deterrent have been activated, the containers are ready for use. The deactivating agent permanently alters the substance’s chemical condition rendering the substance non-retrievable; including pills, patches, tablets, and IV solutions. Our proprietary containers are designed with a one-way disposal path allowing substances to enter the container but not be removed, preventing any possible diversion opportunities. The unique lid opening is designed to prevent a sharp vial or ampoule from entering the container so that the deactivating agent can interact with the disposed substance. Only our turnkey CsRx Service includes lockable wall brackets at no additional charge. All controlled substance waste will be incinerated at a permitted Stericycle facility. Stericycle CsRx Controlled Substance Waste Service can help you safely and securely dispose of controlled substance waste.
DeliverRx™ provides precise prescription deliveries to every patient, every time. This system is designed to eliminate the frustration of searching through alphabetically stored bags. DeliverRx puts prescriptions ready for pickup in easy-to-find locations and includes return-to-stock reporting, with user-defined number of days, at a touch of a button. This system is configurable for any pharmacy layout, including wall unit, under-counter drawer system, and/or corner carousel with ability to store bulk and refrigerated items. Customize any pharmacy, of any size, by using DeliverRx bags and bulk shelving.
