Chain Pharmacy Features & Benefits
Chain Pharmacy Management Systems Overview
NRx provides an easy-to-use, graphical user interface which makes processing new prescriptions and refills quick and easy. This HIPAA- compliant system makes processing claims, customizing reports, managing inventory and maintaining and updating data easy. Tasks can often be completed in just a few mouse clicks or keystrokes. Even fill-in staff can adjust easily to the system with the aid of onscreen context sensitive help and easy access to a variety of training modules.
MSM (Multi-Site Management System) provides the corporate control necessary for more profitable chain pharmacy management. Extract data from stores as a unit or track specific markets or zones. True data warehousing helps the corporate office make better business decisions based on information about drug usage, trends and prescription activity. Plus your staff can easily operate the system even without extensive application expertise.
Enterprise configuration is available so multiple store locations can reside on a single server. It allows file sharing between stores and cuts costs by submitting all claims from your chain's centralized corporate office. Plus, Mulit-Site Management allows you to protect your chain's data with centralized backups and data maintenance.
