Medication processing: closing the provider-pharmacy gap.
The provision of medications to patients is not a departmental task managed by the pharmacy. Rather, it is an enterprise-wide task with management shared by physicians, pharmacists, and nurses. Only automation approaches that integrate all three axes in real time will be able to effectively support the desired goal: the optimal provision of the proper medication to the proper patient at the proper time.
