Snapsflow Telepharmacy Solutions from SNAPS Inc. enable hospitals to
provide off-site Telepharmacy services for sister hospitals and/or
client hospitals via a web based application. Directors of Pharmacy and
pharmacy staff are instantly notified when a new medication order is either faxed or scanned in at any nursing station or department within a hospital.
A pharmacist working at a hospital or at home can review the order for
appropriateness and either approve the order or transmit a request for
clarification to the nurses station or physician instantly. The
nursing/pharmacy relationship is materially improved because all
stake-holders know precisely where a medication order is in process.
Our Telepharmacy solutions also lower timebetween medication order receipt and pharmacist review.
Snapsflow routes the order (based on hospital business rules)
automatically to any location within or outside of the hospital for the
appropriate pharmacist’s review. Snapsflow can greatly enhance pharmacy staff coverage
by allowing pharmacists to review and approve orders from home after
usual pharmacy business hours or by sharing Pharmacist resources
amongst hospitals.
Snapsflow is being implemented by hospitals wanting to provide more consistent pharmacist involvement in
the med order process. JCAHO requirements are rapidly mandating that
pharmacists review every medication order prior to the medication being
dispensed.
Snapsflow Telepharmacy solutions
allow both on-site and off-site pharmacists to visually check and
review all med orders and insure that the medication is appropriate for
the patient based on the five R’s: right dose, right route, right time,
right medicine, right patient.
