SMP
BestRx is proud to have partnered with SMP to provide our mutual clients a way to submit their immunizations directly through our Pharmacy Management Software. In order to first get set-up, the pharmacy needs to contact SMP directly at info@rxsmp.com or 888-790-0767.
The integration with SMP costs $35 per month to use.
Processing Immunizations with SMP
When filling a prescription for an NDC that is classified as an immunization, BestRx will prompt the user to enter immunization administration info as shown below.
Enter in the appropriate information, and click "Save" to save immunization information to the script. After the prescription has been filled, BestRx will report the RX to SMP. If editing a prescription, simply click the syringe icon next to the NDC number to enter or edit this information.
The software also allows for a completely separate, more manual entry of immunization information by going to Misc > 13. Immunization Administration Info.
This screen will allow you to first select a prescription before allowing you to add immunization information, but functionally works in the same way as adding it from the prescription screen.
Viewing Immunization Status
The software gives users an option to view and/or act on their immunization submissions directly from within BestRx.
The MTM (Medication Therapy Management) Screen, albeit mainly for MTM opportunities, gives access to the SMP immunization statues as well, as displayed below. It can be accessed by clicking MTM from the notification bar and/or the dashboard, depending on configuration.
The screen will display the status of the pharmacy's immunization submissions, and give the pharmacy an idea if any of these submissions need to be acted on. Any prescription that requires attention will also be displayed in the Pending Tasks tab on the left of the screen, as shown below.
In order for the pharmacy to edit and change statuses of these tasks, simply click "Change Status" or "Complete Tasks" with desired prescriptions selected.
Viewing Immunization Status and Opportunities
The software gives users an option to view and/or act on opportunities for immunization in four different locations of BestRx, as well as display currently submitted immunizations and their status.
The MTM (Medication Therapy Management) screen, albeit mainly for MTM opportunities, gives access to the SMP opportunities as well as displayed below. It can be accessed by clicking MTM from the notification bar and/or the dashboard, depending on configuration.
This screen will display all opportunities, whether or not they have been completed, and allow the user to View Details by clicking the appropriate button. Just below the opportunities, the software will display all submitted immunization prescriptions and their status. Any prescription that requires attention will also be displayed in the Pending Tasks tab on the left of the screen, as shown below.
In order for the pharmacy to edit and change statuses of these tasks, simply click "Change Status" or "Complete Tasks" with desired prescriptions selected.
Opportunities will also pop up and allowed to be acted upon during Point-of-Sale transactions through BestPOS during the tender process as shown below.
Opportunities will also pop up and allowed to be acted upon directly from the BestRx RX Profile screen, after selecting a patient.
These can also be viewed further by clicking the "More Info" button, which will pop-up and display the screen below.
The detail page will display immunization history for that patient and the details of current opportunities. The "Opt Out" and "CDC Info" buttons will open links provided by SMP in the default web browser.
It is also possible to create an order for an opportunity prescription immunization by clicking "Order Rx". When starting an order, the software will first ask to select a prescriber for whom this order is to be sent.
Select the appropriate prescriber, and click "Create Rx Order"; the order will be created in a PDF file format and will be available for immediate printing as shown below.
If the pharmacy is also subscribing to the Document Management feature of BestRx, the orders will also be added into the individual patient's document files inside of BestRx.
