Structured Process Recommendation

Introduction and implementation of a new database software system, InventoryX integrated to ComputerRX

  1. Hire a team of software developers for creation of the software

  2. They will integrate the software to the ComputerRX system

  3. Payment to software developers

  4. Multi-user software licensing (all employees are permitted to use software)

  5. Star Pharmacy’s owner or MIS manager agrees to the Software License Agreement along with its terms and conditions

  6. The business is licensed to use the new software system. Make customizations if necessary (restricted access or full access - depending on employee or job)

  7. Cutover method - start using the new software system immediately (permissible for all employees)


Everyone must be on the same page when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of InventoryRX to cut down on errors such as excess ordering that leads to dead stock. When switching over to the new software, it is imperative that all employees complete a training program for InventoryX. Included in this software, InventoryX, will be different modules and mock training activities discussing the proper search codes for different medications, how to transmit orders, apply gift cards, and discounts. After new employees have completed the software training programs, they are permitted to start using the InventoryX software. The implementation of Inventory X will be focused on the efficiency objective where all inventory orders will be placed automatically. All inventory, prescriptions and OTC products will be ordered through the InventoryX software as soon as the prescriptions arrive as a form of batch control in order to prevent any dead stock and pharmacists will be able to see how many customers’ orders were completed. Some of the key performance indicators we would like to implement are measurement in the decrease (if any) in dead stock through this inventory software, is there batch control for applicable items, and how much excess stock/inventory we had within a week and within 2 weeks, how many orders are able to be placed, how many customers’ orders were completed in a day or week, and the amount of savings with executing batch control.

Conclusion

  Conclusion Overall, we learned much about Star Pharmacy on how it operates its dynamic and structured process, and the information systems used for the processes. Based on the information, we were able to identify the sources of issues within the current system and recommend a few changes to the procurement and patient prescription process. Team 5 recommends the implementation of the inventory software, InventoryX, and Med Central website as a collaboration tool for Star Pharmacy to improve the dynamic and structured process. InventoryX database software tool will enable the business to become more profitable and earn more value and the collaboration tool will enable the business to retain more customers through the user-friendly website and complete customer requests more effectively. Acknowledgment First and foremost, I would like to thank Shirley Thomas, the pharmacist in charge, for letting us come to her facility and explain to us how Star Pharmacy manages its business pro...
