Pharmaca Implements Bi-directional Immunization Interface to Improve Patient Outcomes

Scientific Technologies Corporation (STC) and Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy are proud to announce the integration of STC’s bi-directional Immunization Interface, ImmsLink™ into Pharmaca’s workflow.  This partnership will ensure compliance for Pharmaca’s pharmacists through the reporting of administered immunizations to the New Mexico and Oregon registries in real time and also give them access to patient immunization histories and vaccine forecasting at the point of care.  STC’s industry leading vaccine forecaster takes the uncertainty out of the recommending additional shots by validating for pharmacists overdue patient immunizations so they can enhance the patient care experience while simultaneously increasing their bottom line.

“Pharmacies are taking a more integrative approach to patient outcomes, and Pharmaca has always been on the forefront of that approach,” says Mike Monske, Pharmacy Manager. “We believe that by utilizing our immunization information systems and pharmacy systems to exchange data, we will not only establish compliance but also enable our pharmacists to better understand and serve our patients.” 

Pharmaca is one of the first pharmacies to empower pharmacists with opportunities to improve immunization rates and therefore patient outcomes in real time. STC is proud to team with a pharmacy whose innovative approach increases efficiency and improves patient care.
