Our goal in the initial product design for RxPertise™ Consulting Software was to create the premiere modular software tool for performing Medication Regimen Reviews (MRRs), but one that left the consultant pharmacist in complete control of the data. We feel quite gratified that so many of our clients believe we’ve achieved our goal. Since our initial launch of RxPertise™, we’ve made many enhancements based upon input from both prospective and existing clients.

Previously, emphasis was always placed on crafting RxPertise™ to be a stand-alone MRR software. The reasons for this have been well documented on our web site the past several years.  However, the advent of the Medicare Modernization Act and future e-prescribing regulations will dramatically reshape the long-term care pharmacy industry, and we realize RxPertise™ needs to be reshaped as well to remain the top choice of MRR software for consultant pharmacists.  Managed Health Care, Inc. (MHA), who purchased the rights to RxPertise™,  is committed to supporting the evolution of RxPertise™ in this rapidly changing environment.

With our latest version 7.5, we have included pharmacy dispensing interface capabilities with six of the major long-term care pharmacy systems, with the addition of a Universal Pharmacy Dispensing interface.  This will allow RxPertise to interface with any and every commercial and proprietary pharmacy system in use.  These interface not only populates resident and medication order information into the RxPertise database, but also provides a valuable screening tool for identifying those potentially unnecessary medication orders (as defined by the 12/18/06 State Operations Manual).  In addition, we have incorporated a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) Formulary Checker, which will empower the consultant pharmacist in verifying coverage for a resident before the recommendation is made. 

We are excited to have this ongoing opportunity to better serve our clients in the long-term care industry.
