PHARMACY
Secure, scalable connectivity for pharmacies
Pharmacies need reliable and secure digital solutions to manage prescriptions, stock levels, and patient data. Cloud Gateway’s technology ensures that pharmacies can operate efficiently, securely, and in compliance with regulations.
Our platform connects people, places and devices to the applications they need via the HSCN, plus innovative cloud technologies and third party pharmacy resources.
Pharmacy services in the cloud era.
Pharmacy providers are increasingly turning to cloud solutions to streamline operations, ensure patient safety, and improve interoperability with other healthcare stakeholders. As demand for digital prescriptions and telehealth grows, pharmacies require scalable and secure iT infrastructure to remain successful.
Managing digital prescriptions
As digital prescriptions become more common, pharmacies need to ensure secure, real-time access to patient data. This requires a highly scalable cloud infrastructure capable of handling the increasing volume, while ensuring fast, secure access for pharmacists and healthcare providers. Pharmacies rely on secure, cloud-based electronic prescription services (EPS) to facilitate data exchange and ensure accuracy and safety in medication dispensing.
Integration with healthcare systems
Pharmacies often work in tandem with hospitals, GPs, and other providers to deliver patient care. Integration between pharmacy systems and the NHS (like Spine or SystmOne) is essential for sharing real-time patient data. This integration requires secure cloud connectivity and a reliable network infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted communication, reducing the risk of error.
As an important component of a wider healthcare ecosystem, pharmacies require reliable, secure and flexible connectivity in order to deliver joined up care to patients alongside other healthcare entities in the sector.
Security of data
Pharmacy providers handle sensitive patient information, such as prescription details, medical histories, and personal data, which must be protected under strict regulations like GDPR. Pharmacies must adopt strong security measures, including connection encryption, multi-factor authentication, and firewalling, to protect this data. A secure network helps prevent data breaches and cyber threats that could compromise patient confidentiality and pharmacy operations.
