Talk of hub and spoke models has been rumbling on for as long as I can remember. The topic has once again hit the headlines as the government announced a
fresh consultation for its proposed changes, calling on all interested parties to submit their views by 8th June.
The argument for hub and spoke is to allow independents to have the same level playing field as the larger groups who have been operating this model for some time.
The government also sees significant efficiency gains in centralisation, arguing this will free pharmacists time away from dispensing to focus on clinical services.
The latest consultation advocates two models being created. In the first model, the dispensed medication is sent back to the spoke. In the second model, the completed
medication can be sent out directly to the patient.
The latter is a new concept which could open up new opportunities in how services are delivered. Pharmacies could effectively outsource the entire dispensing and
delivery to housebound patients and care homes allowing pharmacies to take on new business without having to worry about logistics and geography.
Health technology pioneer Invatech Health has sold its care homes electronic medication administration record (eMAR) system Atlas to care home management
specialists Person Centred Software (PCS).
Following the transition of Atlas to new ownership, Bristol-based Invatech Health will concentrate solely on further growth of Titan, its cutting-edge software for pharmacy management.
Invatech Health CEO Tariq Muhammad, a pharmacist who started working on care homes back in 2002, first conceived the concept of electronic medicines system for care homes in 2006.
Muhammad said he was proud to see his purpose-driven business given an opportunity for further progress. "It's a bit like being at a child's graduation," he said,
after the completion of the acquisition which marked the end of a 20 year journey for him with Atlas.
"I set up Atlas to tackle a dire need in the care homes sector for a system which could prevent incorrect dosing, mismanagement of prescriptions and administration errors of important medication.
