It has the potential to be.
Like pharmacy contractors, pharmacy systems suppliers are being paid in arrears. When the system has been installed, the pharmacist can claim payment which they can then pay to their system supplier.
This means that they are under pressure to deliver a solution which "meets the requirements" but is clunky. Whereas we can be as flexible as we like to be with paper.
There have been letters in the PJ about how bad it is, but who is standing up and saying what the workflow in the system should be to make it workable? This can only come from pharmacists on the ground and not some notional office pharmacist who has not dispensed a script since their pre-reg.
