Correctional pharmacy services that save time and money
Our customizable pharmacy management processes keep costs on budget and improve inmate outcomes with:
Cost-Management
We understand that you are working within a predetermined budget. Partnering with HealthDirect means meeting your responsibilities at lower costs without cutting corners. In addition, our pharmacists review all new orders for cost containment and compliance purposes.
Safe and Secure
Our logistics software prevents medications from being accessible to unauthorized individuals and ensures dosages are dispensed in safe quantities. All medications are also verified for regulation compliance.
Dispensing and Delivery
Our dispensing and delivery systems are designed to enhance medication compliance. Method, label format, cycle length, delivery protocols and timing can all be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Technology Solutions
We understand the crucial role technology plays in providing your best care. Our web portal gives you instant access to important information such as order status and medical records. And, our pharmacy management software interfaces eHR systems.
Simple transition process for correctional pharmacy services
We know the process of transitioning pharmacies can feel daunting. That’s why we’ve developed a stress-free solution. Through simplified protocols, timed coordination and team collaboration, our guided step-by-step process ensures a seamless transition.
Planning
During our initial meeting, we work with you to learn all about your facility, including:
- General facility information
- Current cycle and last survey dates
- Loading dock and delivery information
- Key personnel contact information
- Meal and med pass times and standing order lists
Data Transition
Together we’ll identify key dates and gather inmate fact sheets and physician orders. This “road map” guides your facility in submitting data to your order entry technician. Your technician will establish a protocol for all future data transmissions.
Team Training
Prior to start date, HealthDirect in-services your staff on all pharmacy policies and procedures. A dedicated pharmacy team works with you to develop customized training solutions.
Go-Live
To ensure a seamless transition, your HealthDirect team is onsite the day of start-up. We help check that all systems and protocols are running smoothly. We can also quickly answer any questions.
On-Going Support
After launch, your HealthDirect team continues to support your facility via a transition recap meeting, continued HealthDirect management support and ongoing visits from your account manager.
