The new ALERT Xarelto Day Supply Conversion to Improve Adherence Care Goal template is now available! This template is Active by default for all locations. When used with its Rx Triggers, the Care Goal will be automatically added for patients receiving any strength of Xarelto and who could benefit from switching from a 30-day supply to a 90-day supply.
Patients taking Xarelto for long-term treatment could benefit from receiving a 90-day supply of the medication. This Care Goal can prompt the pharmacy to recommend a 90-day supply to the patient at the point of sale to improve patient adherence.
+Add Options for Care Action Display at Point of Sale
A new option for the Care Action Display at Point of Sale field is now available. This option can be designated for individual care actions to control prompting the Care Action when the customer picks up in person.
This new option will allow the pharmacy to limit the Care Action display at the point of sale to opportunities for transactions where the patient is expected to be present. This targeted display will eliminate unnecessary steps and reduce alert fatigue for the Point of Sale team.
+Add Rybelsus Care Goals
The Rybelsus Paid Care Goals are now available! These new Rybelsus® Pharmacist Led Intervention - New Therapy and Rybelsus® Pharmacist Led Intervention - Dose Escalation care goals are part of a series of manufacturer-sponsored paid opportunities for pharmacies that provide patients with treatment consultation and medication education for Rybelsus.
These services are paving the way for more opportunities for additional revenue streams within the pharmacy industry.
+Implemented Packaging Quantity Calculation to Inventory
Implemented Package quantity calculation logic to Inventory > Purchases when generating and receiving Purchase Orders, Invoices, and Vendor Catalog updates.
The Package quantity calculation calculates the correct number of packages pharmacies need to order for multipack items.
+New Invoices Workspace
The "Invoices" search workspace has been created under Mega Menu > Financial so that users can view and search for all Invoice/Statement records for the enterprise without having to go to each Guarantor.
