Refine

Refine is quick to load and easy to use, mapping data on a monthly basis, producing reports when you need them, and showing exactly where and how a drug or class of drug is being used within the Trust.

Data from different sources is combined in Refine to build a complete prescribing picture, which can then be analysed down to cost centre and consultant code. Refine can also analyse cost centres allocated to another trust under a Service Level Agreement to review the cost of drugs and reconcile against invoices.

Features of Refine include:

• Drug level tracking
• Drug financial tracking and forecasting
• Overall Trust usage independent of prescription data supply source, for example Inpatient, Outpatient, Homecare, FP10 HNC, Third party outpatient supply, SLA supply
• Compatible with all pharmacy systems and data feeds
• Local Directorates to reflect your own Trust structure
• Local Formulary analysis and formulary mapping tools
• Indicative budgeting at Directorate or Cost centre level
• Cross link to Financial Account codes
• Cost modelling module to look at how therapeutic substitutions impact on anticipated costs
• Full ATC / DDD / BNF / DM+D / Local drug description compatibility
• Portability of reports to Excel compatible downloads

Refine can be configured to reflect the customer organisation’s structure, and like Define is compatible with all pharmacy systems include JAC, EMIS/Ascribe, Epic, Medictech and EDS.
The software can be accessed with user-level password security, and like other Rx-info products, the licence for Refine has no limit on the number of users. Refine runs within secure NHS connections.
