Abstract

See full text

A method for improving the accuracy of pharmacy transactions. A health care organization's individual health care facilities are linked to a prescription processing center of a publicly-held corporate pharmacy ('PCP') organization, preferably by means of an electronic communications network. The processing center collects, organizes and correlates patient census data from the health care facilities and transaction data from the pharmacies with existing contract data. The collected and organized data forms a dataset that may be used to determine and allocate the charges. Further, the patient and transaction data may be utilized to generate various reports in an electronic format related to the patients, facilities, and pharmacies. In another embodiment of the present invention, the electronic communications network may be utilized to survey the health care facilities regarding the level of performance and quality of the PCP and associated pharmacies. This information may be organized into reports and then forwarded to appropriate administrative and management personnel at the health care facility and the PCP.
