information technology in pharmacy

It’s true that any new technology is about to change the way we think about professional medicine. It’s also true that nothing will change in the way we do things. Quality, efficiency and responsiveness are keys to success and so are patient safety. We need the right tools, the right combinations of methods, and the right people in order to provide the best care to our patients. One of those tools is information technology (IT) or marketing and communication technologies (MCT). MCTs are not just interesting but useful too. For instance, short-term memory can be useful for dealing with trauma in a hospital setting but can also be used over and over again throughout a doctor’s career to be used for “take home message.

Information Technology in Pharmacy has a lot of information on there page, I’ll just drop one that I think is pretty informative. This site talks about their application of so called POC (personal computer) technology to pharmacy in order to improve the ability of pharmacists and create a better environment for patients. The idea behind this is to allow patients to have access to medicine rather than having to go to the pharmacy’s office or go offline because they don’t have internet access.
