Pharmacy systems, medication labels, and legally maintained records of medication sales are crucial in the provision of smooth community pharmacy services. During the pandemic, startup “PharmCare” launched a community pharmacy system which is designed to assist community pharmacies and pharmacists in managing patient information and medication records. Health In Action played an advisory role in the initial research phase of PharmCare and thereafter established a partnership on district-based developments. The ultimate goal of the platform is to promote interoperability of medical and health records across community pharmacies, public and private clinics, and hospitals throughout Hong Kong, and support the future development of community pharmacies in primary healthcare.
