PreConsult
A free feature within PharmOutcomes that streamlines flu service delivery.
Flu season is an extremely busy time of year for pharmacists, with this comes increased patient advice and consultations adding to the day-to-day duties, which has dramatically increased after the launch of the Pharmacy First service earlier this year.
Seamless workflow
PreConsult offers a time-saving solution, allowing patients or front-line pharmacy staff to populate pre-vaccination information into a flu service template ahead of a patient's appointment.
The PreConsult flu template records the patients' personal details, screening, and eligibility information. Once this has been completed, the template is automatically sent to the clinical workflow in PharmOutcomes and allows you to pull up the partially completed record immediately. All that needs to be added are the vaccine details, including batch number, type of vaccine and which arm the vaccine is administered in.
Efficient processes
After the vaccination information is saved in PharmOutcomes, an electronic notification is sent directly to the patient's GP clinical system. The pharmacy claim is then automatically created in the NHS Business Services Authority Manage Your Service portal for your approval, helping to reduce time spent on admin.
Key benefits
- Shorter appointment times for patient and pharmacist
- Time saving, giving pharmacy capacity to deliver more services
- Improve patient experience with faster appointments and reduced waiting times
