Caro, MI (January 30, 2012) - SRS today announced that it has completed the transition to Version D.0 of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) Telecommunication Standard after certifying with what it believes is the final Pharmacy Benefit Manager that requires NCPDP Version D.0 certification — CVS Caremark. SRS had been waiting for a spot in Caremark's D.0 Certification Queue, which has now been resolved.

NCPDP Version D.0 is an updated version of the HIPAA standard for electronic pharmacy claim transactions and is the new industry format required by law, replacing the previous pharmacy claim standard, NCPDP Version 5.1.

Caro, MI (January 26, 2012) - SRS today announced the availability of its PKonScan application, allowing users of its PKonRx pharmacy management software to scan and digitally store the image of the original hard copy prescription. Once the original prescription has been scanned, the image is then "linked" to the prescription, allowing the image to be displayed at different stages in the pharmacy's workflow, saving time from having to locate the original prescription.

Also incorporated in to the PKonScan application is RPh Verify, which allows the pharmacist to view current fill information and then compare it with the original scanned prescription, patient medication history, and patient fill history. Pharmacists can then Approve or Reject the prescription based on the information presented.

SRS customers interested in implementing the PKonScan application should contact SRS Support at 1.800.673.6226.

Caro, MI (January 3, 2012) - SRS today announced the availability of PhoneManager, an integrated phone system with IVR for users of SRS' PKonRx pharmacy management software.

"Managing customer calls is vital to today's well-functioning pharmacy, requiring not only a solution to automate customer calls, but a reliable phone system as well," says Todd Hook, RPh, Director of Business Operations. "Although SRS has offered an IVR solution for a number of years that allows patients to order prescription refills 24/7 using their touch-tone phone, implementing the solution was always dependent on certain capabilities of a pharmacy's phone system - capabilities many of the phone systems did not have or were too costly to implement. With PhoneManager, SRS now provides an end-to-end solution for those pharmacies not only looking to replace their aging phone system, but who are also looking to provide their customers with the 'always on' technology that more and more customers expect from their neighborhood pharmacy."

SRS customers interested in implementing the PhoneManager solution should contact SRS Support at 1.800.673.6226.
