CLOUD-BASED PHARMACY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
PharmaSys is a UK based company that produced a world-first, internet based service that accommodates the dispensing of prescriptions for clinical devices and medicines via a centralised repository and is NHS accredited in the UK.
Its product line was launched in 2008 and in 2017, the business (Excluding Africa) was sold to Clanwilliam, a Global Group focused on healthcare, technology and services with 1200 employees working across the UK and Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and India.
Synapser has partnered with PharmaSys SA to bring its latest product to the African market.
Current landscape:
Every working day millions of paper prescriptions are issued; medicines dispensed, and multiple practitioners see patients. Numerous data sources mean that there is no central repository of patient data. Management and audit of so many paper-based dispensing incidents are problematic. With no centralised view of market conditions, this creates limited views across countries on healthcare trends. The annual growth of prescribed items alone is 5%.
In order to change this, one would need every community patient to have access to a digital service where only authorised practitioners have access to patient data. This service will enable electronic care records to be created, generated, transmitted and received so that the patient has a secure single care record . Over time, the relevant bodies will be able to submit these electronic records to regulatory and government officials. In most cases electronic data will replace paper records and the old multidisciplinary, disparate records currently seen in established markets will disappear.
