Medication supply and pharmacy services for nursing homes
Chemco Pharmacy is the Irish-owned pharmacy that developed MedCharts. Your home gets medication supply, clinical support and the MedCharts system together, from one team.
A structured 28-day cycle, with daily deliveries when you need them
-
Regular monthly medications are packed in Tosho pouches at our central hub in Celbridge.
-
Monthly medications are delivered on a structured basis, with every delivery recorded in MedCharts.
-
Bulk orders are requested before each delivery, so Tosho medications and loose regular and PRN medications all arrive in full.
-
Daily delivery for all ad hoc medications:
- Antibiotics
- Doctor changes
- Replenishment of stock
Every pouch checked before it leaves the pharmacy
-
A full clinical check of all medications supplied in each Tosho roll.
-
Pouch inspector technology checks that every medication is accurate.
-
Photographic evidence of every individual pouch is kept in the pharmacy.
-
Our Tosho machine is regularly cleaned, calibrated and serviced.
And for everything outside the pouch New
Every administration of a non-Tosho medication is now recorded in MedCharts by barcode scan, so the correct medication is selected for the correct resident. Read about barcode scanning.
