Protecting patients and our pharmacy team by minimizing contact time
Online COVID-19 Pre-Screening
Assessing your patients' potential COVID-19 symptoms or exposure ahead of entry to the pharmacy is extremely important. We want to provide a safe environment for your staff, patients and families.
To protect our valuable pharmacy team members, we have integrated our BCPhA COVID-19 screening tool. Patients will automatically be sent an email and text message reminder 24-hours before their appointment and will be asked to complete this before they arrive. Pharmacists can view real-time if this has been completed and passed. See real-time if they did not complete the form and at a click of a button send a reminder by email or text message. If they did not pass, no problem, you can cancel and/or reschedule online as well instantly.
If you want patients to complete the COVID-19 screening before they even book an appointment, this is available to you as well.
Online Vaccine Screening for Consent
Patients will have the opportunity to read and complete the form online upon booking an appointment. View the form online in real-time, send reminders and allows for digital download and is printer-friendly.
Patients without email or text?
There are patients that have landlines only and no email or text. No problem! You can book people from the backend on their behalf in-person or over the phone.
You cannot eliminate all calls and questions in the pharmacy, but if you can reduce it by 50-70%, would you?
Family bookings
One family member looking to make appointments for their family? Yes, this is available. Create one user account and make bookings for multiple family members. Then complete any COVID-19 pre-screening or vaccine screening/consent forms online as a parent, guardian, or legal representative too.
Built in Vancouver, for pharmacists, partnered with the Association
We surveyed our members and many understand the importance to be prepared for the upcoming COVID-19 vaccines and needing a tool to drive efficiency and improve the workflow. The 2020 flu season was busier than ever, and COVID-19 vaccines in Q2 of 2021 will be busier for a longer time.
This online booking tool takes care of most of the administrative work in your pharmacy; automatically fills in forms so you can streamline your process and focus on patient care.
We are also able to build custom forms to meet your organization's needs whether it's for BC or for across Canada, we can help. Please contact vince.lee@bcpharmacy.ca if you want to explore the possibility of a custom-built solution to meet your organizations needs.
Your Own Customizations
Customize your booking page:
- Add your logo at the top banner
- Include your address, web link, contact number and email address at the bottom of the page
- Customize your service names, length of service, and description
- Add a Call now button for smartphones for a one-touch call for smartphones if you have additional services that require a call
Accessing the Application
There is no software to download, everything is accessed through a web browser. It’s that easy.
There are some basic requirements:
- You will need to use Chrome or Safari. Other browsers are not fully supported. Please also ensure you have the latest updates installed.
- You can log in from a computer, tablet or smartphone. You can have more than one session at a time, but we recommend that if two people are logged in at the same time only one should be making edits such as booking an appointment or filling in a form to avoid double booking or over-writing edits to a form if both are completing the same patient form at the same time.
- You need internet access to access this application.
Additional Corporate Member Benefit
The system is ready to go and basic setup is intuitive and streamlined and our Step-by-Step Setup Guide makes it even easier. But, we know it's busy in your pharmacy and some additional support helps. As an added benefit for Corporate members, book a 30-minute virtual one-on-one session with one of our BCPhA Member Services staff to get real-time training and become an expert even faster. Group classes also available upon request.
