The Fulfill-Rx pharmacy management software solution is a unique, two-way electronic data conduit between the hospital's pharmacy automation systems backbone (Connect-Rx® software), McKesson Connect® software (formerly SMO) and McKesson Health Systems distribution centers.

This critical data flow enables pharmacies to maximize GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) compliance and rebates while creating efficient, automated inventory and order management.

The electronic orders are processed by the distribution center and delivered to the pharmacy in location-specific and shelf-specific replenishment totes. The bar-code-driven, put-away processes ensure accuracy, and cut in half the time required for replenishment, receiving and restocking.
