CHEMIST Warehouse has signed an agreement with Medscope which will see the company's pharmCare professional services software platform roll out right across the national Chemist Warehouse network.
Medscope ceo George Giannakopolos said the deal "introduces real competition in the pharmacy software space.
"As new vendors enter the market, the quality and affordability of software improves...pharmacy now has a real choice," he said.
Chemist Warehouse managing partner Mark Finocchiaro said the company was looking for a modern professional services platform that encouraged pharmacists to provide better health-centred services to their customers, and at the same time was sensitive to pharmacy's busy workloads.
"pharmCare does that," he said.
Medscope is a joint venture between academics from the school of pharmacy at the University of Tasmania - including Dr Peter Tenni, Dr Shane Jackson & Professor Greg Peterson - and IT company Verdant Health.
The company's professional services platform also includes Medication Review Mentor (MRM) and MedsChecks modules, promising pharmacists the ability to "convert your dispensing system into a patient-centric professional services console".
