When the systems are installed the barcode scanner is often put near the computer keyboard. Have we subliminally accepted that we should scan the scripts as we get to dispense them?
Scanning them when handed in, and then putting them at the bottom of the dispensing pile would mean that by the time they get to the top the script should have been downloaded.
Any thoughts whether this would help EPS workflow? |
We have a terminal on the counter and i have thought that this would work well. However we get that busy with people queuing to hand Rx's in the downloading would have to speed up significantly to improve our workflow, especially for the staff on the counter.
Also on Proscript we have to wait for one Rx to download before we can scan another. If we could just scan one after another with no wait that would be ideal...thats another phone call to Proscript help desk!!!!
