Ascribe says it has successfully implemented a new web-based IT solution at Tameside General Hospital's Pharmacy Department to manage its dispensary and stores processes
This system will enable healthcare personnel to raise requests for prescriptions to the hospital pharmacy through authorised web-access points; the main benefits are considerable time-savings and further reductions in errors.
This solution also marks a major step towards further integration with other clinical systems within hospitals such as electronic prescribing and medicine administration (ePMA).
Speaking on behalf of Ascribe, Stephen Critchlow, CEO and chairman, stated: "We are delighted with the initial progress reports, this is a major technological breakthrough and we are now starting to make real progress in the web-based integration of clinical systems in healthcare".
Ascribe solutions are already installed in over 60% of UK hospitals.
The new web-based architecture allows hospitals to move forward with their prescription technology.
This solution is based upon Microsoft's SQL server, this provides a more modern and robust basis for further development.
Speaking on behalf of Tameside General Hospital, Tony Sivner, chief pharmacist said: "The solution is up and running and it is allowing us to process our incoming prescription requests without delays.
"Now that this system is in place we look forward to developing further integration with our other IT systems."
