DGMS Executive Summary

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Each day physicians may expect to prescribe highly regulated drugs which are subject to time-consuming constraints, controls and scrutiny from the DEA. Physicians may have encountered other issues including: Handwritten prescriptions illegally duplicated, illegally changed or stolen; Handwriting errors that are subject to being interpreted incorrectly; Time constraints on office staff dealing with:
• Scheduling new appointments;
• Completion of prescription and related paperwork; and
• Handling re-authorization of prescriptions that are phoned in by
both pharmacist and patients.

Tight operating margins make purchasing new technology difficult and sometimes impossible. The Pharmacist faces similar problems in his/her business and fines the following as obstacles: It is difficult to secure funds to:

• Expand the business;
• Meet competitive community promotions; and
• Purchase or update pharmacy technology.

A large percentage of the pharmacist’s time goes to:

• Handling specialized medications; • Calling back physicians’ offices;
• Completing prescription verifications; and
• Handling third-party insurances.
