EPMA and Pharmacy stock control system optimisation- we are looking at some more of the new functionality of the system to see how we can implement this. We will also be carrying out more audits related to the system to identify what else needs to be improved.
Pharmacy prescription tracker- we are implementing a prescription tracking system across the trust so that wards and community locations can track the status of their prescription orders without the need for contacting pharmacy.
Writing a Medicines Management Digital Pharmacy Strategic framework to completement the medicines optimisation strategic framework- Medicines_Management_Strategic_Plan_V2.pdf
Controlled drug (CD) manager – We are currently scoping and writing a buisness case for the implementation of an electronic CD register which links with the EPMA and PSC system and will aid with CD governance and incidents related to CD’s
Scoping of a new dispensing robot- The current robot used within the medicines management department is coming to end of life and will require replacement. We are currently reviewing the options available on the market and will be writing a business case to support the purchase and replacement of this robot.
