ePharmacy Toolkit - Community Pharmacy

ePharmacy- Toolkit
7. Summary
Having completed the various sections of this pack you should be well paced to now
consider how best to make eAMS work in your pharmacy. As you can see it may
require you to make some changes to your current way of working, however, the
longer term benefits should become apparent the more you use the technology to
support you in the dispensing process and you find that this becomes your normal
way of dispensing and claiming for prescriptions.
Actions
Implement any changes to working processes, including new
housekeeping arrangements, in your pharmacy to support eAMS
implementation;
Update your standard operating procedures (for dispensing) to
include eAMS processes;
Brief your pharmacy support staff (and locums) on the impact of
eAMS on working practices;
Address any additional training requirements; and
Submit electronic claims wherever possible.
