LTC Pharmacy Transition Services Simplified
HealthDirect takes the burden off your team, so your transition to our services is stress free.
If you’ve ever considered switching pharmacy providers, you may have worried about the transition process, adapting to new protocols, timing, and gaining trust with a new team. At HealthDirect, we understand your concerns, and we have developed a stress-free solution to switch long-term care pharmacy partners.
Pharmacy Transitions With Care and Without Worry
We Make Switching Pharmacy Service Providers Angst-Free
Our five-step process takes the burden off your team to make the transition seamless, leaving you feeling comfortable and confident in your new relationship with the HealthDirect team. We also pride ourselves on customizing the switching process to meet your needs. Our team comes to your facility, works with your schedules, and establishes new protocols and processes that fit your expectations.
Stress-Free Transition Process
Planning
Before starting the planning process, we take time to understand your “pain.” Your needs are put first as we meet at your facility, on your schedule, to determine your care community goals and priorities.
Data Transition
A Client Service Specialist will dive in, while keeping your time to a minimum. Your dedicated specialist will organize facility information and demographics to determine facility needs. At the end of data transition, your care community has a transition “road map” or plan for making each pharmacy goal a reality.
Team Training
The following are completed before go-live:
- HealthDirect Policy and Procedure Training

On-Going Support
After launch, our team continues to fully support your team via a transition recap meeting, continued HealthDirect management support and a weekly visit from your HealthDirect account manager. Plus, a financial impact review is conducted at the end of the first month.
Yup, start-up day can actually be pretty easy!

- All medication and records are completely in place and verified.
- HealthDirect staff is at your facility the day of start up to personally ensure everything goes smoothly and fix any minor hiccups along the way.
