RxTran is Now Integrated with McKesson Pharmaserv for Label Content Translation

MEDFORD, MA (October 25, 2016) — RxTran has partnered with McKesson’s Pharmaserv pharmacy management software in an effort to help pharmacies communicate prescription and drug safety information to customers with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). The Federal government and many states (New York, California, etc.) have implemented language requirements for pharmacy services. RxTran’s services satisfy all current and anticipated future requirements for US pharmacies.

If customers are unable to understand labeling instructions, they’re less likely to follow medical orders. Patient non-adherence to prescription directives is responsible for 22% of all hospitalizations annually in the United States. RxTran increases medical adherence by helping patients understand prescription instructions with precise written translation of directions for use (SIGs) and auxiliary warning labels in 17 languages. This important integration grants Pharmaserv access to RxTran’s massive online, continuously growing database of foreign language drug instructions to print directly onto prescription labels.

“At RxTran, we have developed unique partnerships with many pharmacy providers to support their efforts to successfully and seamlessly communicate globally,” says Sharon Blank, CEO of RxTran and Language Scientific. “We are able to leverage our native speaking medical professional linguists with years of experience to provide the highest quality translation for our pharmacy partners. We will continue to serve McKesson and our pharmacy partners and their customers in whatever ways we can.”

RxTran’s shared-cost solution helps pharmacies compete effectively, even as a small or independent chain. It also helps pharmacies reach growing, untapped markets, generating customer loyalty and adding prescription and store merchandising revenue. Pharmacies can then focus on the development of long-term patient relationships where processing safeguards and compliance’s ensure accuracy and consistency.
