University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust to Deploy Pharmacy Stock Control System from JAC
JAC, the UK's leading medicine management systems specialist,
has won a contract with University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation
Trust (UH Bristol) to undertake a Trust-wide roll out of the JAC
Pharmacy Stock Control System.
With an international reputation, the Trust is one of the
country's largest acute NHS Trusts and the major teaching and
medical research centre for the South West of England. With over
7,500 staff offering 100 different clinical services across nine
different sites, UH Bristol has developed cutting edge services to
improve patient care and deliver a high-quality service.
Stephen Brown, Director of Pharmacy at UH Bristol said: "The
Trust was looking to replace its existing system with a reliable IT
system that will enable the provision of high quality Pharmacy
services in the coming years, with robust stock management in the
department and patient focused pharmaceutical care at ward
level."
UH Bristol is a complex, multi-site foundation Trust, and has
selected JAC's Pharmacy Stock Control System for its ability to
provide advanced functionality, system accessibility and
comprehensive data.
In addition to the Pharmacy Stock Control System, UH Bristol
will also deploy JAC's advanced reporting solution ReportPlus. This
highly intuitive system delivers detailed and graphical reports on
medicines usage and costs via a simple to use interface, enabling
the Trust to efficiently collect and analyse medicines related
data.
The JAC System is a single scalable solution that allows the
processing of pharmacy work to take place on the ward. The solution
is being integrated with existing systems, interfacing with the
patient administration system (PAS), pharmacy robot and finance
systems to enable efficient real-time reporting on purchasing,
invoicing and stock information as well as automating electronic
purchasing and invoicing from suppliers.
The pharmacy system also provides the functionality required for
Pharmacy technical services including Total Parenteral Nutrition,
Centralised Intravenous Additive Services, and the preparation of
pharmaceutical products.
