For hospital pharmacies and outsourcing facilities, patient safety is a primary driver. Today, it takes on added significance as facilities wrestle with meeting DQSA and DSCSA compliance mandates. As a result, many in the industry are turning to enterprise resource planning (ERP) to address their needs. But they are quickly finding out that all ERPs are not created equally. That’s why ConsortiEXTM has developed the Pharmacy-Focused ERP, specifically to address the unique business needs and challenges of hospital pharmacies and outsourcing facilities.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is broadly defined as the integrated management of core business processes – typically through the use of an integrated suite of software applications. ERPs were originally developed to help an organization collect, store, manage, and interpret data from business activities ranging from production planning and manufacturing, to materials management, inventory management, and distribution. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority have been created to meet the broad-based needs of businesses in general. As such, they require a significant investment in human and IT resources to be even marginally functional for the needs of hospital pharmacies and outsourcing facilities, especially when it comes to the ever changing regulatory compliance landscape in health care. These are resources most in the pharmacy community simply do not have.
This is precisely why so many hospital pharmacies and outsourcing facilities across the country are entrusting this business-critical task to ConsortiEX and its Pharmacy-Focused ERP. The ConsortiEX solution addresses the ERP process holistically from the pharmacy’s point of view; know where every ingredient and product is at any time across the enterprise …from Pedigree to Patient®.
