What You Should Know:

  • PointClickCare Technologies, a leading healthcare technology platform, today announced the availability of Pharmacy Connect, a solution designed to transform and simplify medication management for care teams in senior living communities and enable collaboration with pharmacies for timely medication availability.
  • Pharmacy Connect, purposefully built for senior living, encompassing assisted living, memory care, and diversified communities, sets a new standard for healthcare coordination in the senior living market. By bridging the collaboration and transparency gaps between pharmacies and senior living communities,  these capabilities offer a streamlined solution to address the often siloed, manual processes. 

Enhancing Medication Management in Senior Living with Pharmacy Connect

Pharmacy Connect offers significant benefits to senior living customers by streamlining workflow, ensuring timely medication delivery to residents, and enhancing medication safety and compliance. It provides an intuitive workspace for wellness nurses, consolidating critical medication management functions for easy tracking, confirmation, and collaboration with the pharmacy.

 By directly linking the community to the pharmacy, manual interactions are reduced, leading to faster availability of medications. Standardizing medication processes and implementing alerts helps reduce errors, improves tracking, auditing, compliance, and ultimately enhances resident safety. 

Given that over 200,000 older adults are hospitalized annually due to adverse drug events, with 60% of these cases being preventable, senior living leaders increasingly recognize the importance of efficient medication management for both resident well-being and operational efficiency.

“There are many challenges when it comes to medication management in senior living communities,  which are exacerbated by the daily struggle to provide consistent, quality care while battling an alarming  increase in staffing shortages,” said Travis Palmquist, Senior Vice President and General Manager of  Emerging Markets at PointClickCare. “Our team is focused on finding new ways to help our Senior Living  customers work more efficiently and safely, ultimately driving exceptional resident experience and  optimal health outcomes. We are proud to provide new tools like Pharmacy Connect that enable more person-centered, coordinated care across care teams.”
