Our static archives do not require maintenance plans, however support contracts are available as either monthly support fees or ad hoc planned or emergency work.
Dynamic Client-Hosted Server Implementations
Our dynamic archives do require monthly fees to support the daily store pulls. The cost varies on number of stores and service level agreement requirements.
Given the often complex nature of implementing a pharmacy data archiving solution, it is important to have a solid plan in place to ensure success. That is why Two Point’s data archiving strategy incorporates the following phases:
Two Point will work with the pharmacy to understand the use of the current system and to understand the data, images and documents that will need to be brought across to the archive as well as ongoing reporting needs.
Following a quality check on the pharmacy data files, our Two Point special projects team will begin the build out of the archive server for the installation process.
Data, images and documents are processed into the archive database. Images are then linked to the corresponding data points (patients, Rxs, dispensing).
Our Two Point team will work with the pharmacy to ensure all data is validated and any discrepancies are addressed prior to project completion. Once the data has been validated the archive is then complete.
