Integrated Medication Management is the system in which the PointClickCare Order Management system is electronically integrated with a pharmacy. This automates many of the ordering, reordering and medication receiving processes that were previously done manually.

When integrated, most pharmacy orders added to the PointClickCare application are automatically electronically transmitted to the pharmacy system. This eliminates printing out and faxing a paper copy of the order. After the electronic order is received by the pharmacy in the form of a message (see IMM - Messages Overview) the pharmacy can begin processing that order in timely manner.

After medications are received from the pharmacy, the supply received is electronically linked to the original order. This maintains consistency between what was written in the order, and what was sent by pharmacy. This information is visible in both the order list of the resident record and within the electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR).

When medication supplies need to be reordered, this is completed in one click from either the eMAR or the order list, which sends an electronic message to the integrated pharmacy so the reordered medication can be processed and sent to the facility.
