Primary Care Organisations are faced with challenging financial pressures and are the subject of regular press exposés concerning money wasting or inappropriate prescribing, despite meeting treatment targets and trying to maintain high quality healthcare delivery.

ScriptSwitch has a track record of providing cost effective solutions to facilitate the medicines management strategies and deliver a range of PCO objectives across the spectrum of healthcare in the UK. Overlaying the major Primary Care clinical systems from INPS, EMIS and iSOFT, ScriptSwitch offers real time results with minimal operational disruption.

At a cost of 37p per registered patient, ScriptSwitch can provide a cost benefit from an average practice in the UK of around £35,000 per annum. Projected over all 10,465 practices in the UK, the ScriptSwitch system has potential benefit to the wider National Health Service in excess of £300 million per annum.

In view of this substantial potential cost saving and the need for the NHS to find fast, effective ways to make money go further, ScriptSwitch is becoming a priority consideration for every PCO within the UK.

Developed over a number of years by a team of multi-skilled professionals in partnership with the NHS, it is already successfully in excess of 50 PCO's and significantly more are currently engaged in pre-contractual discussions.

ScriptSwitch has set out to improve clinical excellence by supporting the prescriber. It delivers clear, simple and concise medicines management guidelines at the point of prescribing, as configured locally by the PCO.
