Overview Providing a cost effective and efficient Pharmacy service makes a significant contribution to the patient experience. Understanding your current pharmacy processes and being able to explore alternative scenarios enables you to determine the true cost and resource implications associated with improving service delivery. TC Analyzer has been actively assisting Trusts to understand the "impact of change" though the use of Analyzer Lite to model existing processes and generate alternative scenarios. A key issue has been the availability of Trust staff to build the models for each process from scratch. We've listened to what you have told us and to address this issue we are pleased to introduce our "out of the box", Pharmacy Department Process Modeling Solution (DPMS) which will enable you to take immediate advantage of the functionality of Analyzer Lite using a library of pre-loaded, pharmacy process models. We pre-load NHS mid-point salary scale information and typical hours worked per period for each staff grade to help cost your current processes and alternative scenarios.

And, to help you further, we even deliver the Pharmacy DPMS on its own laptop, configured specifically for your Trust, so you can start to understand your pharmacy process costs immediately on delivery, literally "out of the box". The laptop exceeds the minimum hardware specification for the application and is delivered with all the software you need to make the most productive use of Analyzer Lite.

No longer will you need to start with a blank sheet to model your processes or arrange workshops to map each process. You simply validate the cost details supplied with the product, ensure that the pre-loaded processes maps supplied with system reflect the way your department works, input the volume per period for each process and you are ready to start evaluating alternative scenarios.

The models supplied with the system include:

Dispensing Processes such as TTO on Ward, Outpatient Dispensing, Inpatient Dispensing, Dispensary Picking List and Putting stock into store

Administration Processes such as Order Processing, Goods Receiving, Delivery Notes and Invoice Matching

Ward Based Processes such as Ward Stocks, Expired Ward Stocks and Pick List Creation

To further maximize the benefits of this approach, TC Analyzer provides a comprehensive one day onsite training course which will teach up to 6 people how to use the software. And you can take advantage of our fast start consultancy service delivered by our Alliance Partners who have specialist skills in process modelling and extensive experience in the healthcare market.
