What Are the Best Practices for Data Management for Hospital Pharmacy?

Hospital pharmacy has unique data challenges. Like any organization, data is one of your most valuable assets. Being able to access it how and when you need is critical. And that can be compromised when you choose to change pharmacy systems.

Hospital Pharmacy Data Conversion Are Not a One Size Fits All

The process of converting is much more complex than taking one set of data and transferring it into a new platform. Many different factors impact the conversion. For example, some fields are consistent across all platforms, some are not.

Many systems are used independently, making migrations tricky. There is also the need for many of these systems to work interoperability with other systems, like EHRs. Further, the priorities of the pharmacy may be different based on the size. Larger health systems have more data and possibly more customization versus community hospitals.

Smooth Conversions Support Better Patient Care
