Problem
Pharmacies spend significant time and resources on manual prescription data entry, diverting staff from patient care and increasing the risk of errors. The traditional prescription input process is also prone to inaccuracies due to illegible handwriting or complex medical terminology.
Solution
Precal offers a remote prescription data entry service that automates the process by utilizing online staff to input prescription information from scanned images. The service integrates with existing pharmacy systems, automatically inputting the data into the pharmacy's software, including cloud-based platforms. By outsourcing this task, pharmacies can reduce labor costs, minimize data entry errors, and free up pharmacists to focus on patient counseling and other clinical activities. Precal supports various prescription types and complexities, including selections for generic or brand-name drugs, as well as dosage adjustments.
