How to manage MDS efficiently? By Condon Pharmacy

DualBlist allows us to manage SPD much more efficiently than manually.

The Condon Pharmacy in Badalona is a neighborhood pharmacy, whose patients have an average age of 55-60 years old. It is a patient-focused care pharmacy, offering a wide range of services (pharmacotherapeutic monitoring, analysis of health parameters, dietary control, magistral formulation, etc.).

For several years, they have been offering the Personalized Dosage System (MDS), a pharmaceutical care service aimed at optimizing the correct use of medications.

Initially, they offered the MDS service without any technological support. Between three pharmacy employees, they manually organized the treatments of about 75 patients each week. According to Jordi Lobelle, head of the SPD at Condon Pharmacy, “one of the main difficulties of the service was the complex management of prescriptions and stocks prior to the preparation of the MDS,” which involved a lot of time and paperwork.

At the end of 2020, following the departure of one of the three employees in charge of the SPD, they decided to take the plunge and implement DualBlist in the pharmacy.

Why did you choose DualBlist? The most relevant factor in the decision was the integration with the Nixfarma MDS program, which facilitates comprehensive patient management. In addition, they took into account that the blister format was already familiar to their patients and would not pose a problem of adaptation for them.

The semi-automation of the MDS with DualBlist has allowed them to maintain the volume of patients assigned to the service, even with one less employee.

Among the advantages of DualBlist, the integration with the Nixfarma management program stands out, since it facilitates the management of prescriptions and stocks prior to the preparation of the SPD. In addition, they state that “DualBlist allows us to manage the SPD much more efficiently than manually” and highlight the software’s ease of use.
