Whats the point in going to a paperless system then printing out 250 Rx's a day?
We have 9 terminals in our dispensary, however we only have two set up with scanners for the barcodes, one on the walk-in bench and one on delivery bench.
However each scanner needs a smartcard to be able to log on. We have 2 pharmacists 99% of time and sometimes 3 or 4. So at a maximum we could scan Rx's at 4 terminals. Most pharmacies have only one pharmacist on duty and therefore only one smartcard. Therefore you could have all the terminals you want but could only use the one you have logged on with the smartcard!
The only thing i can think of is that we will have to check each Rx against the electronic one on the PC monitor, so will have to have a PC at each checking point in the dispensary(in our case 3; walk-in, delivery & MDS). These PC's will have to be for checking only. The thought of having to check even 100 items a day looking up and down at a monitor gives me a headache
