POINT OF CARE DISPENSING
Last Updated: June 1, 2021 | Created: September 5, 2018
Point of Care Dispensing enables physicians and clinics to offer patients the option to get their medications directly from the clinic at the time of their visit rather than having to take a separate trip to a pharmacy. With Point of Care Dispensing, patients walk out of the clinic with their medications, thereby getting more convenient and hassle-free service from their doctor.
The Benefits to Point of Care Dispensing
Up to 50% More Profit

Patient Convenience

PATIENCE CONVENIENCE & COMPLIANCE
The problem with the traditional system is that patients either (1) take forever to fill their prescriptions or (2) they don’t get them filled at all. Currently, a doctor writes a prescription and may notify the pharmacy. Depending on the wait, it could take hours for the pharmacy to fill the prescription. At some point, the patient has to travel to the pharmacy and pick-up the prescription.
With an aging population, it can be time consuming or downright impossible to get to the pharmacy in a timely manner. With Point of Care Dispensing, your patients are able to leave your office or clinic with their medications in-hand. This means that from day one, they’re in the best position possible to be fully compliant with their medications.
