Abstract

Objective: Make the process of accessing and validating digitally signed medical prescriptions more agile, as each platform has its particularity, bringing great difficulty in access, expertise, and agility in handling systems for Pharmacies.

Method: The information technology area of ​​the pharmaceutical retail company studied in this article centralized the main electronic addresses on a single web page. The assimilation of digital signature validation training was optimized, allowing counter attendants and/or pharmacists to have greater dexterity in validating signatures. The innovation allowed an analysis of the time spent on the procedure before and after inserting the tool.

Results: The centralization of the access links of the various electronic prescription platforms used to validate the digital signatures of medical prescribers, made accessing the sites faster, making the visualization and validation of prescriptions more agile.

Conclusion: In this way, the customer's shopping experience became more attractive, because the whole process occurs more quickly, bringing the possibility of a greater customer turnover and consequently optimizing service time, making it possible to serve more customers, increasing the number of sales and predisposing to a higher profit margin in pharmaceutical retail.
