GuildCare Programs – 1 million cases and rising
June 5, 2012
A milestone was reached last
week with the GuildCare suite of
programs recording their one
millionth case.
Since launching in 2011, GuildCare
has registered 3100 sites with over
2900 actively using the platform to
deliver important services to
Australian health consumers.
GuildCare’s focus is on delivering
a user-friendly platform that
integrates with existing dispensing
software and empowers
pharmacies to deliver professional
services while
recording their pharmacy practices.
The GuildCare reflect how
strongly community pharmacies
have embraced the Fifth
Community Pharmacy Agreement
(5CPA) practice incentives, with
927,616 (92.5 per cent) of cases
delivered under the 5CPA programs.
The GuildCare Private Programs,
accounting for 45,505
or 4.5 per cent of completed cases,
are focused on ensuring the better
use of medicines targeting various
disease categories including
cardiovascular, respiratory, and
mental health.
The Private Services programs,
with 29,464 or 2.9 per cent
completed cases, allow pharmacists
to record their professional services
such as blood pressure, Lipid, INR,
and weight in the systems and an
output is produced for the patient
to hand to their GP.
A record is also kept at the
pharmacy. Most of the current
Private Services modules have been
designed to assist pat ient
management of cardiovascular
disease with over 26,000 blood
pressures recordings done to date.
The suite will expand over time
and will include other disease
categories to align with the services
offered in pharmacy.
Designed by GuildLink – the
Guild’s wholly-owned IT service
company - GuildCare is changing
the way pharmacies conduct
business.
