Online pharmacy Zur Rose and Nexus working together
Altishofen LU/Frauenfeld – The online pharmacy Zur Rose and Nexus are digitizing the ordering process for medication at retirement homes and nursing homes. Together, they have developed a digital interface for this.
Nexus Schweiz from Altishofen in the canton of Lucerne and the online pharmacy Zur Rose are endeavoring to create a fully digitized medication ordering system according to a press release. To do so, Nexus Schweiz, a specialist in digital system solutions at retirement homes and nursing homes, and Zur Rose have jointly introduced a digital interface. Using this, medication can be ordered directly via the Nexus HEIM [HOME] software. An adaption for Nexus’s Spitex clients is planned for the coming months.
Nexus sees this digital interface as the first step towards a fully digitized process. The medication process at homes is still prone to error as it is usually conducted manually. In addition to the traditional ordering process within the HEIM software, there is also the option of using the Dailymed service. Medication and prescription management is taken on by Zur Rose. The company’s pharmaceutical specialists sort various medication into Dailymed boxes according to the time it should be taken and deliver these automatically before the corresponding box has been fully used. The aim is to reduce the burden on staff working at homes.
In the near future, Nexus will also develop simple, digital warehouse management. As the CEO of Nexus, Ivo Braunschweiler, stresses in the press release, directors of homes must “deal with their processes ever more quickly today. Digitization no longer just means using a web platform” or needing to consider hardware.
