Western Sussex Hospitals
Prescription Tracking System
PTS was introduced into Worthing Hospital in 2008.
Following the initial installation and familiarisation period Worthing are using the majority of the facilities offered by the application including the Outpatient module.
The objectives for having PTS were to improve the dispensing times for prescriptions therefore improving the patient experience and offering the potential for better bed management. In addition they wanted to offer much more effective communication to medical staff relating to a prescriptions progress.
To achieve this they wanted a system that would be easy to use and maintain and they opted for TMS Insight's Prescription Tracking System.
Teresa Leach, Dispensary Manager said "Since the implementation of PTS we have seen a noticable reduction in nurse phone calls progressing prescriptions, and our script dispensing times have reduced significantly."
"Turnaround time has fallen by at least 25%, with TTO dispensing times down by almost 50%. PTS has proven to be so successful we are actively expanding the use of the system throughout the whole trust.”
