FirstFill
Allscripts recognizes the disparity between the number of written prescriptions and those actually filled, and has created FirstFill – an innovative pre-packaged medication fulfillment solution complete with both medications and software for dispensing and inventory control.
As retail health clinics propagate, with more than 2,000 clinics expected by 2010, physicians (particularly primary care) are at a risk of losing patients to competitors. Offering in-office medication is a patient-centric action designed to improve healthcare, retain patients and generate new revenue.
