Bellevue, WA -- Pharmacy OneSource, software-as-a-service provider of the MedBoard medication tracking system, is pleased to announce an upcoming complimentary webinar: "Closing the Black Hole of Pharmacy with Medication Tracking."

Join Charles McCluskey, Pharm.D., Director, Pharmacy & Pulmonary Services, as he conducts a "virtual site-visit" of Riverside Methodist Hospital's Medication Tracking System.

Charles will present his organization's success with recording and tracking preparation and delivery activities of orders that has produced a 35% reduction in lost and missing medications (i.e., preventable waste). Charles will outline how his staff, and nursing, can monitor delivery times to reduce calls to pharmacy and minimize lookup time. Charles will describe how tracking medications enhances the workflow by queuing and prioritizing orders to gain efficiency while reducing

waste and re-work. Through robust reporting capabilities, Charles will discuss how he can use the data collected to quantify and demonstrate performance to administration and nursing.
