CASE STUDY

Independent Pharmacy in Children’s Hospital improves discharged patient wait times and workflow with RMS’ Point-of-Sale solutions.

When Jake Olson was asked to open Skywalk Pharmacy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2003, it was the first independentlyowned community pharmacy located in a children’s hospital in the United States. His team’s mission was, and still is to this day, to provide high-quality specialized pediatric pharmacy service to children and families who have chronic diseases and special needs that cannot be easily addressed by most pharmacies.

As Skywalk Pharmacy rapidly became the go-to experts for the 240-bed pediatric hospital, Jake and his team opened two additional locations in 2014 in Delafield and New Berlin. With the main campus devoted to the discharge process and transitions of care for patients going home, the second location offers clinical services, such as a medication synchronization program, and other higher-touch services that can’t be provided in a discharge setting. The third location, a remote dispensing site, is conveniently located in the suburbs and is much closer to the patients so they can continue to pick up their prescriptions after they’ve been discharged from the hospital.

While Skywalk Pharmacy is known as the best choice for all children’s medication and offers front-end items that can’t be found anywhere else, the pharmacy’s small storefront and multi-location network presented logistical problems which caused workflow, multi-store reporting and customer service mishaps.

Quickly, Easily, and Securely Fill Prescriptions, Anytime, Anywhere With the MedAvail MedCenter® The MedAvail MedCenter is a complete remote pharmacy solution that is transforming the pharmacy experience by providing “fast lane” pharmacy with dispense times of five minutes or less. CEO:

Ed Kilroy Founded: 2012 Employees: 140 employees Phone: (905) 812-0023 Fax: (905) 812-0402 Address: 6665 Millcreek Drive, Unit #1 Mississauga, ON, Canada, L5N 5M4 Website: www.medavail.com

Company Background

MedAvail Technologies Inc. is a healthcare technology company commercializing the MedAvail MedCenter, a self-service kiosk solution that supports the dispensing of prescription medications and over-thecounter products. MedAvail was formed in June of 2012 through the purchase of assets from PharmaTrust of Oakville, Canada, a business that had developed earlier iterations of this ground-breaking technology since 2007. We have since partnered with a global contract manufacturer for additional engineering support and manufacturing. We are currently in a pilot program with a significant US-based retail pharmacy and have joined forces with a Canadian pharmacy to launch sites in Southern Ontario.

Product Overview

The MedAvail Remote Dispensing System is a fully automated pharmaceutical platform connected to a remote healthcare professional. The MedCenter dispenser is the face of that solution. The easy-to-use MedCenters are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. With a few taps on the MedCenter screen, customers can fill or refill prescription medications or purchase over-the-counter medications, and engage in one-on-one consultations with a friendly, remote pharmacist.

Features & Options

n State-of-the-Art Touchscreen A large, high-resolution touchscreen on the front of the MedCenter allows for a clean, easy-to-follow menu layout, with large, readable text to accommodate all customers. n Audio/Video Capabilities The MedCenter has full audio/video capabilities, which allow customers to engage in face-to-face consultations with pharmacists through video calls, if desired. n Adjustable Camera The unique adjustable camera allows the pharmacist to adjust the position of the camera to accommodate the customer’s height. This feature ensures that all MedCenter calls are truly face-to-face.

n Privacy Features Customers can pick up the privacy handset during the pharmacist consultation. Privacy panels on either side of the MedCenter protect the customer’s personal space and ensure a comfortable and secure experience. n High Capacity, Customizable Vault The large MedCenter vault ensures a wide selection of available medications. The vault is 100% customizable to meet business needs, while the packages stored within the vault can be customized to meet clinical, demographic, and business needs. n Highly Secure The vault is made of a high-grade, thick, steel plate and the MedCenter is bolted to the floor. The MedCenter is equipped with 24-hour monitoring that notifies MedCenter technicians of any unauthorized access attempts.

Markets Served

n Retail Pharmacy Chains

With the MedCenter, pharmacies can extend their brand without the high investment costs of building a brick and mortar operation. The smaller footprint of the MedCenter means it can be deployed in multiple use case scenarios. It can bring pharmacy access to areas that do not have a traditional pharmacy, providing continuity of care for existing patients while potentially driving customer acquisition. The MedCenter is the perfect solution for pharmacies looking to extend their hours to provide 24-hour patient access to pharmacy services. The MedCenter can effectively use pharmacy staff to manage multiple locations from a single location, making 24-hour service not only possible, but profitable.

n Hospitals/Clinics

The MedCenter benefits a hospital or clinic by providing pharmacy access at the point of prescription. The MedCenter provides patients with a quick and convenient way to fill their prescriptions on site. This works to increase primary adherence, increase patient compliance, and potentially reduce re-admission rates.

n Employer Sites

A MedCenter at an employer site offers employees a private, fast way to fill or refill their prescription medications without leaving the work site. Fast access to prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as the expertise of a pharmacist, may reduce sick days and increase employee health and satisfaction.

Workers’ Compensation is More Profitable and Easier Than You Think ServRx™ specializes in workers’ compensation pharmacy claims management, offering customized contracts with the most flexible and competitive payment terms in the industry. ServRx™ gives your pharmacies the opportunity to minimize bad debt and short pays as well as improve cash flow. President & CEO: Todd Delano COO:

Company Background ServRx™ was founded by veterans of the pharmacy claims processing industry. Our executive team has collectively overseen processing in excess of $3 billion in workers’ compensation and commercial prescription claims over the last decade. We have experience working with many different types of clients including independent pharmacies, compounding pharmacies, and regional chains. Since its inception in 2008, ServRx™ has expanded significantly, processing claims with thousands of payors in all 50 states. While the company continues to grow, our mission remains the same — ServRx™ works closely with each client to develop solutions that maximize the revenue cycle and improve access to medications for injured workers nationwide. Service Overview ServRx™ is a leading electronic prescription claims processing and management company. We partner with pharmacies to develop customized electronic solutions that are designed to accelerate the revenue cycle. Many claims processing companies rely on antiquated technology and IT infrastructure. ServRx™ uses the most sophisticated IT systems in the industry, allowing our clients to benefit from real-time adjudication. Benefits ServRx™ customized solutions offer many benefits to clients. n Cash Flow • Increased Revenue and Profits • Decrease Non-compensable Claims Volume • Minimize Risk, Short Pays, and Losses • Decrease Staff Costs

n Work Flow • Implement Patient and Payor Specific Clinical Edits • Customer Care Center • No Co-pays or Out-of-pocket Costs for Your Patients • Real-time Online Claims Adjudication • Fast and Free Pharmacy Setup with ServRx™ BIN

Diversification is Key PBMs continue to put downward pressure on reimbursements for independent pharmacies, especially in the Compounding segment. In the past, pharmacy owners have either contracted with third party billers that stifle workflow and allow claims to be heavily discounted by PBMs; others have limited their workers’ compensation volume, or even decided not to take it at all. In the face of a changing and increasingly hostile payor environment, both within workers’ compensation and beyond, you owe it to your business to talk to ServRx™ today about maximizing your opportunity in workers’ compensation. Testimonials “ Our compounding pharmacies stayed away from work comp for years not wanting or needing to deal with the hassle. But with reimbursements constantly threatened, last year we started working with ServRx to manage work comp claims. ServRx has provided an incredible boost to our bottom line. We’re tapping into a totally new revenue stream, and in work comp there is never a patient co-pay to collect.”

— Gary Rees, Pharmacy Owner

“ Our pharmacy operations have been greatly improved by the addition of ServRx. Collections are always a big headache for our staff but ServRx has taken that load, increased our workers’ compensation collection rates from 65% to 90% and made life a lot easier around the old “pharm.” The folks at ServRx are super nice, very knowledgeable, and have the perfect skill set to get the job done. We recommend them as an A+++ company with whom to engage.”

Company Background

DOSIS® products by Manchac Technologies are designed to enhance efficiencies in your pharmacy. Our products enhance your pharmacy to fill blister type products, as well as manage the workflow and sorting for all your pharmacy’s prescriptions. Led by Randall Murphy and Monroe Milton, Manchac was founded by veteran pharmacy automation engineers, and has over 150 years of collective industry experience. Manchac will continue to leverage their team’s talents and skills to lead an ever-growing pharmacy market serving long-term care and assisted living facilities, while expanding into other pharmacy markets.

Product Overview

Our initial product, the DOSIS® L60, is the leading solution in LTC blister card automation with deployments in 42 different states across the United States, including Hawaii. DOSIS L60 is the benchmark of single-medication 28, 30, or 31-day blister card robotic solutions. The DOSIS L60 is the only compact, affordable robot that fills, seals, and patient-labels blister cards. Our latest product introduction is the fully automated BP198, the first multi-med dispensing robot in the world that seals the blister card within the machine, hands-free. The BP platform is offered in three different models: BP198, BP316, and BP632. A new multi-dose blister card design provides more benefits for your patient and your pharmacy — adherence packaging made easy!

Features & Options

Manchac’s initial product was the DOSIS L60, which fills, seals, and patient-labels the typical single-medication blister card. The L60 is capable of filling any day supply into the standard 6" by 9" cards in any order in a 28, 30, or 31-day blister card. Similar to the L60, the DOSIS C60 automates the 3" by 9" cards often used for prescriptions of controlled medications. The C60 is being installed in control rooms in large pharmacies.

New to our suite of robotic products, the BP198, fills and seals prescriptions in adherence packaging — weekly multi-dose cards in a new design featuring a full-color patient information cover leaflet. With three sizes of robots offering 198, 316, or 632 medication canisters in each, you can drive the size of your automation based on the dispensing needs and volume of your pharmacy. These fully-automated, hands-free robotic solutions will make your multi-med dispensing more profitable. n Flexibility DOSIS products improve your pharmacy’s flexibility to meet the needs of your customers. You can set dispensing parameters based on payer type, facility, or prescription data. Utilize the same automation for a variety of customers. • No dedicated staffing needed for DOSIS robots; simple to operate. • Minimum touch times per shift to keep DOSIS robots producing. • Keep up with increases in your prescription volume demand. • Eliminate overtime for filling cards. • DOSIS works while you are not, with its ability to fill cards unattended after normal business hours. • On-call pharmacists can log in and send scripts that will be ready for delivery when they get to the pharmacy. • DOSIS solutions are applicable to all sizes of pharmacies; DOSIS offers scalability at an affordable price-point. n Additional Products • DOSIS C60 automates a smaller 3" x 9" blister card that holds a 15/16 day supply. This smaller format is typically used for shortcycle medication dispensing. • DOSIS cTRAQ removes the guesswork from sorting all prescriptions — get the right script to the right facility every time. • DOSIS mPAQ Printing takes over label printing allowing optimal workflow — reducing waste and time spent chasing labels. Manchac Technologies is committed to providing solutions with positive impacts to your operations!

RxASP 1000™ Adherence Packaging and RxSafe 1800™ Robotic Pharmacy Workflow Automation The RxASP 1000 takes adherence packaging to a whole new level with built-in vision inspection and no more trays. With the RxSafe 1800, pharmacies can increase accuracy, free up floor space, and eliminate waste, theft, and diversion.

Company Background

RxSafe began operations in 2008. Many of the principal employees have been innovating together since the early 90s at such companies as Pyxis, Omnicell, and DDN, where they have extensively contributed to the advancement of automation in the pharmacy industry. RxSafe’s founder and CEO, William Holmes, has authored over 50 U.S. patents.

Product Overview

Technology sets our automated strip packager, the RxASP 1000™, apart — offering more than 1,000 canisters, it takes oral solid packaging to a whole new level. Our easy-to-use universal canister means there are no more trays or remote filling stations. Improve workflow and avoid waste with our optional, built-in vision inspection capability. Our RxSafe 1800 is the leader in automated, high-density robotic storage and retrieval of stock bottles. It represents an evolutionary leap in pharmacy automation technology because it goes beyond drawerbased systems. Unlike vial filling robots that hold a small percentage of your formulary, an RxSafe system can securely hold virtually all of your oral solid stock bottles. When you’re busy, the RxSafe 1800 system really shines. Users report that a single operator can routinely fill at an effective rate of over 100 scripts per-hour. If your space is tight, or there’s better use for the space, RxSafe is the solution. In a 3-tower system up to 5,400 stock bottle containers fit in 40 square feet of space.

Features & Options

n RxASP 1000 The RxASP 1000™ breaks all the barriers of past strip packagers. Designed with the most versatile “hi-fidelity” pouch printing and the “easiest-to-open” pouches, it has the highest speed in the industry and the lowest operating cost. Plus, our consumables cost is the lowest in the industry. Why? Automatically and dynamically, the RxASP creates a single or multi-dose pouch that exactly fits the contents — saving material and time. No machine configuration required.

What really stands out? This is the only strip packager with optional, built-in vision inspection. Our vision inspection occurs in “real time” which improves workflow and avoids the waste of running full strips with defects. RxVision™ is an optional, built-in feature that saves space and money — more than $100,000 compared to other offerings. Designed to be modular and scalable, the RxASP line has the smallest footprint of any strip packager on the market. Additionally, we offer the RxASP 20™ for entry-level packaging and retail adherence programs. n RxSafe 1800 Accuracy. Efficiency. Security. With only one technician and one pharmacist, virtually every pharmacy, every day, can fill all prescriptions without extra filling staff. And, with one open bottle at a time, there’s less chance for error, no wasted inventory, and no narcotics theft. In fact, the RxSafe 1800™ is so secure its been approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for CII narcotics storage and dispensing. With the RxSafe 1800, inventory is always 100% accurate because it stores stock bottles behind locked doors and forces workflow at one station, without the added expense of other software or hardware. Remote Stock Management is another standard feature of the RxSafe 1800.

Testimonial

“ T he RxASP line is the best pharmacy automation I’ve seen — it’s more scalable, more accurate, and will handle larger pills than the competition. RxSafe entirely changed the way we do business for the better.”

— Jordan Gosney, Owner, Gosney Long Term Care Pharmacy

CASE STUDY

Independent Pharmacy in Children’s Hospital improves discharged patient wait times and workflow with RMS’ Point-of-Sale solutions.

Small Storefronts and Logistical Mishaps While Skywalk Pharmacy is known as the best choice for all children’s medication and offers front-end items that can’t be found anywhere else, the pharmacy’s small storefront and multi-location network presented logistical problems which caused workflow, multi-store reporting and customer service mishaps. “Being the discharge pharmacy at a hospital, we fill about 300 prescriptions a day at the main location. That’s about 150 new patients with at least two prescriptions that are coming in the door every day. We’ll go two hours with nobody in the store and then ten people wanting to be discharged at the same time.

CASE STUDY When you only have 900 square feet with three consultation booths, and one of them is completely dominated by a traditional point-of-sale system, we frequently have lines out the door with people in a hurry and wanting to be rung up quickly.”

The Point-of-Sale Systems That Caused More Problems As someone who constantly aims to be ahead of the technology curve, Jake has had a point-of-sale system installed in Skywalk Pharmacy since 2007. While it was extremely easy to use, his original system didn’t effectively interface with his pharmacy management system. “Anytime somebody would come to the register, there was no way to know how many prescriptions they were picking up. They’d check out with one prescription, get home, and realize that two of their prescriptions were still sitting on the shelf back in the pharmacy.” Eventually in 2012, Jake switched to a new pharmacy management system that included an integrated point-of-sale system. “We thought we had solved all of our problems by installing a point-of-sale system that came with our pharmacy management system. However, it came with the unintended consequences of having a program that was extremely difficult to use and did not produce any reports or give us information about our front-end retail business. We couldn’t teach anyone how to use it and had no idea how to generate sales reports; our IT manager was the only one who could add new products or update pricing. Realizing my team was beyond frustrated, we decided we needed a point-of-sale system that could balance all of our needs: easy to use, integration with our pharmacy system, multi-store reporting, and a small physical footprint. Jake Olson and his team at Skywalk

That’s when we reached out to Retail Management Solutions.”

Pharmacy, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Evolution of the Pharmacy Point-of-Sale System Thinking the pharmacy needed a second cash register to ensure an efficient customer experience, when Jake spoke with Retail Management Solutions (RMS), he learned that he wouldn’t have to sacrifice another patient consultation booth. Instead, they could use RMS’s EvolutionPOS, a mobile point-of-sale device. “When we have a long line, we can open a second lane to ring people up with the handheld EvolutionPOS device. Our team will go out into the pharmacy and ask people who they are picking up for and the amount of prescriptions. They can actually see if they are ready or not for pickup, have them sign everything, prepare for checkout and then step up to the consultation window.” 27

CASE STUDY Multi-Store Communication What the Skywalk Pharmacy team quickly realized was that the communication amongst the three locations, pricing and cash flow management, also exponentially improved. When they had one pharmacy it hadn’t been a problem but with the addition of the new stores, the reporting wasn’t synchronized and it became a hassle for one person to manage three locations from the cash register sales system. “The other challenge that we had was that while we don’t offer a lot of retail items in the other pharmacies, the ones that we did have would struggle with being priced consistently across the locations. It was all solved by the RMS point-of-sale system when the stores integrated and reporting was on behalf of all three locations.” Avoiding the Traumatic Switchover JAKES’S ADVICE Pharmacy Owners Considering a Point-of-Sale Solution “Pharmacy Owners need to take a serious look at their pharmacy management system and decide: do you want an add-on to a pharmacy operating system that’s not going to provide you what you want, or do you want an easy-to-use, yet robust, point-of-sale solution?” I have evaluated a lot of systems over the last few years, and every time I look at my list of needs and what RMS is able to provide, they meet all the criteria. If you want all of your needs met, go with RMS. If you want just some of your needs met, go with someone else.”

Change is difficult for a lot of people, and switching systems and processes can very much disrupt a business in the short term. As it is for all customers, it was RMS’s mission to make the Skywalk Pharmacy installation and training process as smooth as possible. And if something did come up, Jake had a support team in place to help his team find a solution. “It was pretty nontraumatic for the staff to switch. When the RMS trainer came to the pharmacy and spent a couple days teaching and training the staff, we realized it was pretty easy, again, and a pain-free system. If we have any problems, they have not been urgent and the RMS team has been very responsive in solving our issues.” The Bottom Line Impact of an RMS Point-of-Sale System Jake and his team chose the RMS point-of sale system because they knew the integrations and easy-to-use platform would make their retail business easier to manage. Everything is more streamlined and his team is freed up to take care of their patients and work on growing their business with the RMS technology. “We’re planning on implementing a bedside delivery for a Transitions of Care project that we have with the Children’s Hospital. We currently only capture about 10 percent of the discharges and we know that using the EvolutionPOS to deliver medication up to their rooms will greatly increase our business. When you’re a small pharmacy trying to discharge 200 people a day, you simply cannot fit them all in that little space and care for them in an appropriate amount of time. We want to alleviate the pressure of people coming down and standing in the pharmacy. With the handheld point-of-sale device, my team will be able to go up to the room, provide one-on-one consultations, ring people out, and make sure they have all of the documentation and capture signatures all in one place. It not only makes life easier for the patient, but also for the pharmacy if we’re audited. We’re also excited about offering curbside delivery at our suburban locations since we do not have a drive-thru.

Company Background Transaction Data Systems (TDS) was founded in January 1977. Although the original focus was high-end data communications software to the airline reservation industry and automated teller systems, TDS quickly found its calling in the pharmacy software dispensing market. In 1980, a local Florida pharmacy was looking to automate their daily processing activities … and Rx30 was born. For the past 36 years, Rx30 has been dedicated solely to the success of independent pharmacy. Today, Rx30 is proud to claim that over 4,400 pharmacies utilize our software for their prescription filling/management needs. We have become an unquestioned leader in Independent Pharmacy Management Software. There’s never been a better time to join the Rx30 family.

Product Overview Rx30 thrives by being an innovative leader for independent pharmacy. Efficient prescription filling/refilling is obviously a vital component for any pharmacy system vendor, but what sets Rx30 apart is the myriad of innovative business tools that save time, generate revenue, and provide our stores an ongoing excitement level that always has them wondering, “What is Rx30 going to introduce to us next?” It’s our job to keep Rx30 users ahead of the pack … and it’s a job we spend our lives working to achieve.

Testimonials “ Our Pharmacy has actually reduced staff requirements because of our move away from our old Windows based system over to Rx30!”

— John H., St. Paul, MN

“ T he conversion, the product, the support, the price — it’s no wonder Rx30 is talked about so often! We couldn’t be more pleased with our move over to Rx30.”

Company Background

Health Business Systems (HBS) delivers market-driven software and technology products to support all channels of pharmacy — retail, institutional/nursing home, and mail order/central fill — to help run their business efficiently, while maximizing their bottom line. Today, HBS continues to evolve as a leading pharmacy software provider with over 1,500 clients nationwide, including Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Recognized for innovative product offerings, expertise, and exceptional service, HBS is committed to developing cutting-edge technologies, unique functionality, and unparalleled products. HBS is a leader in pharmacy software because it delivers more than software. HBS’ unique position in the marketplace, offering applications for all facets of pharmacy, enables HBS to bring added value to each pharmacy. Starting with a solid foundation — HBS’ pharmacy software — each technology suite offers options designed to enhance the productivity of any pharmacy.

Product Overview

n Software: HBS offers intuitive pharmacy software systems that simplify dispensing and productivity for timely and accurate prescription processing. With active users nationwide, HBS’ software systems set new standards of excellence in the fields of pharmacy practice and care. n Solutions: HBS offers a variety of industry-proven solutions specifically designed to best support your pharmacy business needs. HBS’ suite of solutions is designed to enhance the productivity of any pharmacy operation, yet provide your patients with a personal experience they expect of your pharmacy. n Advantages: HBS partners with its clients by providing value-added options that impact their bottom line by increasing store revenue and decreasing your operational expenses. By working with industry leaders, HBS Advantage Programs offer the best-in-class, value-added options for your pharmacy. n Interfaces: HBS interfaces with wide range of third-party products (e.g. automation, delivery, EMR, hospital interfaces, IVR, POS, and wholesalers, etc.) to enhance your pharmacy operations. For a full list of interfaces, please visit our website or contact HBS.

n Supplies: Finding a reliable vendor to provide labels, forms, and toner can be a hassle. As a full service provider, HBS can provide you with the right supplies commonly used with your HBS system. So why go anywhere else when HBS’ prices are competitive and guaranteed to work with your HBS system? n Hardware: No one opens a pharmacy because they love computers. As a pharmacy owner, you need to be focused on providing excellent care to your patients, rather than worrying about computer equipment. Let HBS be your back-end IT support and provide you with equipment built for pharmacies. n Services: Finding the time and staff to support many in-house services can be time consuming and take away from your real responsibility — providing the best patient care! HBS offers a variety of services programs that take away the heavy-lifting and deliver the support when and where it’s needed most. n Support: Why offer great pharmacy technology products that are not backed by a high-level of service? If you spend too much time dealing with your software vendor — time you would rather spend with your loyal customers — then learn about the personal service you should expect from the right partner.

Company Background

PCCA provides member pharmacists and prescribers more products, education, and support than any other organization. We have been the innovative compounding leaders for 35 years, developing new industrychanging bases and equipment. With studies to back up our quality products, we are proud to have helped compounders solve some of the toughest patient challenges. At PCCA, we have made it our business to support compounding pharmacists every step of the way — and then some. What began in 1981 as a small network of pharmacists, has grown to over 4,000 member pharmacies worldwide.

Product Overview

While our members have access to over 4,560 active and non-active chemicals — more than any other compounding pharmacy supplier — the competitive advantage we bring our members is the industry’s most comprehensive quality control and assurance program we bring to those chemicals every day. Find out more at: www.pccarx.com/quality. Here are the Quality Differences that PCCA Brings to Member Pharmacies Every Day:

n Every Lot — Not Just the Initial Lot — Is Tested • We do not solely rely upon the USP or manufacturer’s label to ensure the quality of the chemicals received. • Every lot received is tested using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible analysis, melting point, specific gravity, solubility, and chemical identifications. • Additional testing of APIs is done using actual formulations. n 14 Checks and Analyses are Performed on Each Chemical Lot • Nine qualitative and quantitative analyses are performed on every incoming chemical lot before it is released for repacking or sale. • Each lot is tested against the certificate of analysis (C of A), including: USP, EP, NF, FCC, ACS, and PCCA standards.

• After initial testing, all results are reviewed for accuracy by a second QC analyst. • Chemicals are tested only by degreed chemical analysts. n PCCA Rejects Almost 200 Chemical Lots Per Year • PCCA is fully registered by the FDA, DEA, and the State of Texas as a manufacturer and follows current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). • Only FDA-registered and GMP-certified manufacturers are used for the purchase of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). • Exclusive, proven bases, and formulas. n Proven Bases for More Patient Options • With access to more than 60 proprietary bases — unavailable to other compounders — your PCCA pharmacy will have more options to treat patients, from VersaBase® topicals, specifically designed for compounded HRT delivery, to Lipoderm®, the industry’s only transdermal proven to deliver four drugs simultaneously, to PracaSil™-Plus, our base for scar therapy backed by a number of studies showing its effectiveness. n Comprehensive Education is the Key to Compounding • Continuing education is the key to quality compounding solutions. Your PCCA pharmacy has access to more Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)-accredited continuing education than anyone else. In 2016, PCCA will conduct more than 115 ACPE-accredited sessions across the United States, Canada and Australia, as well as scores of other training sessions from clinical and technician related topics to sales and marketing. n Complete Support • Member pharmacies have access to the industry’s best support with more than 30 pharmacists and pharmaceutical chemists on-hand to answer the toughest compounding and clinical questions. n Advocacy • Through our dedicated public affairs group, PCCA advocates for each member’s right to compound through such things as regulatory and insurance support, product availability, and crisis intervention. We work hard on your behalf to raise awareness of compounding and to protect your practice and your patients. Manage this vital but complex process while providing the care and protection your patients need.

Company Background

Liberty Software is an independent software company serving retail pharmacies across America. We have been successful at developing technology that helps community pharmacies be successful in today’s marketplace. At Liberty Software we work hard to make sure our pharmacies are satisfied and happy. To do this, we have brought together a team of individuals who are experienced with pharmacy and technology, and just as important, are friendly and helpful.

Product Overview

Here at Liberty, we believe that we have created a revolutionary pharmacy software platform. Why do we say that? It’s not just the technology, although it is built on Microsoft’s newest technology. It’s not just the feature list, although it is comprehensive. More than anything, we believe that it is the user experience. Prescriptions can be filled quickly and accurately. Many pharmacists have told us it is the easiest system they have ever used. How long does it take to teach new employees how to operate your existing pharmacy software? Pharmacies using RXQ have found that new employees can often begin filling scripts immediately, with little to no training. It’s just that simple. A well-designed pharmacy system should make your employees more productive and happier. When you do need help, it’s only a phone call or mouse click away.

Benefits • Organize Your Pharmacy • Fill More Scripts Without Adding Staff • Improve Customer Service • Streamline Your Workflow • Manage and Improve Profits • Increase Patient Safety

• Flexible Workflow to Fit Your Pharmacy • Proactive Patient Adherence Tools • Five Star Dashboard • Auto Refills • Extensive Compounding Toolset • Advanced Bin Management • AWP Reclaim to Rebill Outdated AWP Scripts • Manufacture Coupon Management • Inventory Control Made Easy • Simple Accounts Receivable • Insurance Audit Report • User Customizable Prescription Labels • Monitor DIR Fees • Pharmacy Task Management • Document Management • Flexible DataViews to Drill Down on Data • Integrated Pharmacy Point of Sale • Modern Payment Processing Including EMV and ApplePay • Pseudoephedrine Real-Time Monitoring • Cloud Powered Multi-Store Management

Testimonials

“ We really enjoy the point of sale system. It has given us absolute accountability. The delivery features and signature capture has really made life easier for us.”

— Bill Mattson, Ballin Pharmacy

Additional Product Modules

For your pharmacy, point of sale software needs to be more than cash drawer management for your front-end. For your patients, it should enable your staff to provide better service. For you, it should result in better accountability, assistance with HIPAA compliance, and improved pharmacy management. These are values that not just any point of sale package can deliver. That’s why we developed ours from the ground up, designed especially for community pharmacies’ needs. Liberty’s point of sale is not simply an add-on to your pharmacy system, but a completely integrated solution. SPRING 2016

Company Background

TCGRx is a leading supplier of pharmacy automation and pharmacy design services. Our solutions range from individual components to address specific issues, to complete pharmacy design. TCGRx has an experienced staff and we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, reliable products that can be used, improved, and scaled, for decades to come.

Product Overview

n ATP® 2 Our new Automated Tablet Packager, ATP® 2, is the most versatile, industry-leading oral solid packager on the market. Engineered to provide improved performance, reliability, and flexibility, the ATP 2 is available in a wide variety of sizes and is expandable for future growth or business needs with 64 – 480 medication canisters. When combined with AutoSense™ smart canister technology and ½ tab canister dispensing, the ATP 2 has a limitless formulary capacity. Equipped with a dual tray system, you can now continuously run your ATP 2 without interruptions, making strip packaging and adherence packaging practical for any pharmacy. The ATP 2 facilitates both unit dose and multi-med packaging with multiple sizes, it can include color indicators to signify proper pass time, and various images and logos to give you maximum flexibility. The ATP 2 integrates with the comprehensive suite of pharmacy solutions offered by TCGRx, including a fully automated image verification system — the InspectRx, automated collation system — the Collector™, BullsEye® automatic pill splitting, and noncanistered filling in our patented SmartTrayRx™ system.

Additional Products

n InspectRx® /Collector™ InspectRx gives pharmacies the confidence of knowing that their AdherePacs™ are accurate while increasing the throughput of the checking process. Pills are verified by identifying 12 physical characteristics and highlighting potential issues for pharmacists. Pharmacies can track erroneous pouches and missing meds back to the source with an archived database of the front and back image of each AdherePac scanned. Adding the Collector enables the rolling, cutting, and taping of each patient or medication strip, vastly improving the speed of preparation for delivery. n Beacon® Inventory Management Beacon is a full inventory management system that supplements a pharmacy’s current process. Beacon is unique — tracking total pill quantity, inventory on hand, and usage. Additionally, Beacon provides bottle-specific information, including quantity and expiration date tracking. Using our unique barcode scanning and light-guided pick and put process, Beacon can direct technicians to fill scripts following the priority of open bottle first, shortest expiration date second. Beacon can also manage your will-call with DeliverRx™ using the same barcode and light guided system. n PharmLoc™ Control and At-Risk Medications (ARMs) are securely stored and managed with PharmLoc. With access restricted to specified users, software controlled electronic locks require authentication for entry either through use of biometric scanning, personal token scanning, or password and login entry. The system tracks all activities, providing detailed documentation and auditing of all ARM related events, and includes who and when users accessed an ARM drawer. PharmLoc utilizes Beacon High-Density (HD) drawers — configurable for a few drawers, or an entire cabinet, and is easily integrated into the existing Beacon workflow.

“ We have done two different software conversions with SuiteRx, one using the retail software and one with the LTC, at two different times. Both times we were impressed with SuiteRx’s responsiveness, attention to detail, and their willingness to solve unique problems with unique solutions. They worked around our schedule, both early in the morning and late at night, and provided additional training where we were weak. We are very happy with our choice of SuiteRx and highly recommend them.”
