Web Access Portal - Integrating Pharmacy and Facility Communication
MedCare’s Web Access Portal is designed to maximize communication between the pharmacy and facility and reduce the burden of medical records keeping and reporting for nursing staff. Refills can be ordered online right from the nurse’s station. Physicians and Nursing Administration can access records from other locations as desired. This system will save countless nursing time hours weekly.
DPW Inspection Support
Periodically, our pharmacy will send a Pharmacist, Technician, or Nurse to your facility to review charts and conduct a pre inspection audit to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. At time of survey, we will send a Pharmacist to your facility to assist and provide support during the entire survey process.
