Clinics and pharmacies
Where patient files are paper, drug stock expires unnoticed, and the queue at the counter is the bottleneck.
The picture
Clinics and pharmacies carry two burdens at once: a duty of care around patient records, and the ordinary stock control problem of a shop that sells things with expiry dates.
What usually goes wrong
The problems we keep seeing
-
Patient files are paper
Finding a returning patient's history means finding a folder. A patient who comes twice a year is effectively a new patient every time.
-
Drug stock expires on the shelf
Nobody is tracking expiry dates by batch, so stock is written off after the fact rather than moved before it.
-
Dispensing is recorded twice
Once on the prescription, once in the sales book, and the two do not always agree.
-
Confidentiality is a filing cabinet
Records that the Data Protection Act treats seriously are protected by a lock and a habit.
What we do about it
The work that fixes it
Each one is something we already do, with its own page and its own price. Nothing here is invented for this page.
