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.

Yup, start-up day can actually be pretty easy!

We do all the homework and prepare your team for a seamless transition to HealthDirect as your new local pharmacy services provider.

You can expect the following to be handled prior to your start-up:

  • HealthDirect has contacted and worked with your staff and physicians to obtain resident orders.
  • All drug regimens have been reviewed by our HealthDirect pharmacists, just like they would for any new admission.
  • 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.
