Are you adapting to the changes in pharmacy practice?
What is focusCare?
FocusCare is a tool that enables uniPHARM pharmacists to provide an enhanced level of healthcare service. This tool can help you distinguish your current dispensary activities from your patient consultation services. It is designed to complement the existing relationship patients have with other healthcare providers. With focusCare, your community pharmacy becomes more than just the place to pick up medications, it becomes a resource centre for collaboration and integration of health information. FocusCare enables your community pharmacy to be the hub that seamlessly connects patients to the healthcare system. FocusCare also allows pharmacists to generate new streams of revenue.
Convenient and Collaborative Health Care
From medication reviews to extensive patient education on multiple health topics, all focusCare services have three things in common: convenience, personalized care and collaboration.
Convenience
Pharmacies have always been a point of easy access for the public. With multiple locations and easy access to pharmacists, patients can have their questions answered and receive the services they need in a fast, convenient manner.
Personalized Care
A focusCare pharmacist will work with each patient and their associated healthcare professionals to educate, coach and mentor the patient to meet their individual health goals.
Collaboration
Each healthcare practitioner has a special role in the healthcare of a patient. It is important that everyone involved with a patient’s care is kept up to date and informed about a patient’s health status. As well, if additional services are needed from other healthcare practitioners, such as dietitians, nurses or physiotherapists, the focusCare pharmacists will network with the required health-care professionals to ensure the patient’s needs are met.
