The story of ProScript LINK


With 30 years experience, we believe ProScript LINK is much more than a PMR
system. But to understand why, it may help to know more about PMR.
P
 MR represents Patient Medication Record
and as implied, it is a live database of the medicines
prescribed and dispensed to an individual.
A
 PMR system is an essential part of a
pharmacy, recording vital information about the
patient and their medication. It enables the pharmacist
and pharmacy staff to provide a safe and effective
pharmaceutical service.
ProScript LINK is AAHs PMR system for
its customers. But, unlike other PMR systems,
AAHs ProScript LINK offers much more than the
management of patient medication records, as youll
discover later in this guide.

ProScript LINK now: EPS Release 2


We all know that changes in technology
and legislation means the pharmacy
industry is always evolving.
T
 hats why AAH is continually working to keep ProScript
LINK up-to-date.
It means ProScript LINK customers can be confident
that their PMR system is always one step ahead of the
ever-changing pharmacy environment.
F
 or instance, ProScript LINK is fully compatible with the
NHS National Programmes such as EPS R2 in England,
AMS & CMS in Scotland, and 2DRx in Wales, and has
recently launched Installment Dispensing into Northern
Ireland.

ProScript LINK and the future


Technology is set to play an
increasingly-important role
in the pharmacies of tomorrow.
P
 roScript LINK receives regular automatic updates to
keep it aligned with technology, product and legislative
changes.
U
 pdates to ProScript LINK happen behind the
scenes so pharmacy staff can run the system without
interruptions or their own intervention.
A
 fully encrypted backup of ProScript LINK is
automatically performed daily ensuring the protection of
vital, and confidential, patient and medication records.

What is meant by electronic prescriptions?


Across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, 4.6 million
prescriptions are issued every working day and the figure is
expected to rise.
Electronic prescribing represents a move to more efficient and
accurate system that is better able to cope with the expected
increase in prescription volumes.
Repeat medications account for about 70 per cent of prescriptions.
Electronic prescribing aims to reduce the paper administration
associated with the existing processes, by enabling prescriptions
to be generated, transmitted and received electronically.
Dispensers will also be able to submit reimbursement
endorsements electronically to support payment claims for
medication and appliances supplied. Over time, the need for
paper prescriptions will reduce significantly.

How does electronic prescribing benefit


our customers, independent pharmacies?
What does Release 2 bring?
ProScript LINK is fully compatible with the NHS National
Programmes such as EPS R2 in England, AMS and CMS in
Scotland, and 2DRx in Wales and it has recently launched into
Northern Ireland.
Electronic prescribing frees dispensing staff from the work
associated with rekeying dispensing information.
It can also help pharmacies manage their stock control more
effectively and order out-of-stock items in a timely manner.
Additionally, there are new benefits from the latest version, Release
2, which has various names according to the NHS National
Programme that governs the pharmacy. For example it is known
as EPS R2 in England, and 2DRx in Wales.
These new features mean, for instance, that patients can nominate
a dispensing pharmacy so staff who currently physically collect
repeat prescriptions for such patients will no longer have to, saving
time and resources.
As nominated electronic prescriptions (both acute and repeat)
may be received before the patients arrival, Release 2 will also
help pharmacy staff to streamline their workflow by preparing
medications in advance.
And for claiming prescription payments and other reimbursements,
the latest release allows pharmacies to manage and submit them
electronically. Again, this frees staff from the time-consuming
process of sorting and posting large prescription volumes
every month.
