im wondering does the new software coming
out handles insurance rejection any better
than the outdated rx2000? i worked for cvs
this summer and struggle to deal with insurance
rejections. its a major headache. but thats
the only issue i have with rx2000. so if the
new software isnt handling it any better i dont
see the benefit in updating.

been rolled out at my old pharmacy for about six months now...it's better/easier to find stuff like that, it's just incredibly slow because the computers are crap...they can't handle it. Then again, I'm used to instantaneous stuff in every other comp system I've used, that might be it.

It's slow because it's a central system. All stuff stored on the main server.

Is there any system that does NOT store all stuff in the main server?

RX2000 searches the store server by default, whereas The new system searches central (that is, the server of every CVS nationwide) by default I believe.

We're still waiting for the new system here on the East Coast.

Most systems have a stand alone server in the store that backs up information to the main system. This is a true central system.

I don't like the sound of this. Even if Rx2000 was outdated, it ran really fast but inefficiently. Did they fix the bugs in there so you don't have to print stuff out if you don't want to.

Like if it's a cash patient and you want to edit it, you have to first print it, and then you can edit it, basically wasting paper. CVS probably wastes millions of dollars on paper every year. We never even give people the stuff that prints out on the 8.5*11 letter paper.

All you have to do is put a 0 (zero) after your initials and it won't print. Just like if you want 2 labels put a 2 after your initials.
However, the regular letter paper is a huge waste because we just throw it all away too.:-(

It sucks, but I was under the impression that you had to give them the 8.5x11 paper if it contains the storage instructions, since that's a legally mandated piece of information?

Not that I knew of.

I think it might be, but I don't think anyone in my pharmacy cares.😕

if its printed out automatically, why not put it in
the bag with the meds instead of trashing them?
its a waste of trash bags with all those papers
when we could simply put it in the bag for the pt.

Exactly, while no pharmacy does that... I bet half the company who threw away the stuff does not know that the papers are part of patient education info continuation.
