PROmanager-Rx Manages Inventory

Q:
How does PROmanager-Rx increase inventory turns?
A:

PROmanager-Rx increases inventory turns based on its perpetual inventory management features. Many McKesson solutions use these inventory management tools and they have been documented to increase turns significantly, based on active management through automation.

 

Q:
How does PROmanager-Rx function as a perpetual inventory system?
A:

PROmanager-Rx uses expiration date tracking to dispense first those medications that expire soonest. Its software tracks all medication-related inventory activities in which inventory is decremented (dispensing and removal of any expired medications). Similarly, all restocks and returns are incremented and tracked. Therefore, PROmanager-Rx knows its precise inventory at all times.

PROmanager-Rx uses the concept of max and par values and a restock report to assist the operator with identification of medications to be restocked. For convenience, it is possible to restock more than one set of max doses per line item into the system. PROmanager-Rx uses Dynamic Inventory Optimization, allowing the number of doses to be specified as days usage, with PROmanager-Rx adjusting quantities as needed. Dynamic Inventory Optimization can be activated or deactivated on a line-item basis.

 

Q:
What kind of management reporting is available through PROmanager-Rx?
A:

Standard reports are available through the Connect-Rx software system. Custom reporting is also available, as is the McKesson Automation Decision Support™ product.
