Propel Rx: Debunking the Myths
The main difference between a myth and a fact is that a fact can be proved while a myth cannot. PTS is your go-to for reliable and accurate facts. Our team of experts ensures you get the truth, not just hearsay. With that in mind, here are seven Propel Rx myths (and facts) about the Propel Rx upgrade.
Let's get started...
Exception! There are a handful of stores with outdated hardware that can't support Propel Rx (e.g. PCs that don't support the newest version of .Net, PCs that are still running Windows 7). In those cases, PTS has contacted (and will continue to contact) store owners directly about purchasing hardware. These stores are the exception and not the rule.
Good to know! Self-directed eLearning allows owners and pharmacy teams to learn at their own pace and at locations that are convenient for them. All learners are encouraged to register and attend an "Ask us Anything" session.
Important! Each Pharmacy will need to appoint a team member as their Propel Rx Ambassador. Designated ambassadors will be emailed the countdown to the Propel Rx weekly emails.
By subscribing to the Propel Rx Insider, you'll never miss anything about Propel Rx. Everyone on your team is encouraged to subscribe.
PharmaClik Rx has been decommissioned in Mantitoba & Saskatchewan already! Register for "The Road to Propel Rx" webinar and be ready for when your pharmacy upgrades.
That's right, Propel Rx monthly fees are the same as PharmaClik Rx.
Your pharmacy doesn't have to but why wouldn't you? Eliminate the need to scan hard copies and increase accuracy using Digital Workflow.
There you have it, seven Propel Rx myths debunked. Remember, the main difference between a myth and a fact is that a fact can be proved while a myth cannot.

Propel Rx was designed to help you run your business smarter, faster, and more efficiently so you can spend your time providing the excellent level of care to your customers that you pride yourself on.
Propel Rx offers solutions and delivers new functionality to meet those needs. Discover the five surprising (and helpful) things about Propel Rx you may not have known.
1. “I want to save on toner and access faxes from any workstation in the pharmacy.”
Propel Rx has an integrated fax tile allowing access to faxes from any workstation and can seamlessly add faxes into workflow without the need to print.
2. “I want to save time and duplication when sending prescriptions to a packager (e.g. PACMED, VBM, etc...)"
What's currently known as ADI (or the Auto-Dispensing Interface) is brought into Propel Rx which eliminates duplication, increases efficiency, and saves time. You will also get the added bonus of configuring the packager's workflow to meet the needs of your business.
3. “I forget to check the PrescribeIT® tab for incoming transactions and sometimes the patient is waiting in the store before I see them.”
PrescribeIT® prescriptions now appear in the Data Entry queue on the Workbench, eliminating multiple places to check for incoming prescriptions.
4. “I want to access multiple patient folders at once.”
Propel Rx can have up to 3 instances open at once. This will allow multiple patients, drug files or prescriptions to be worked on.
5. “I use digital workflow and would like to document dialogue within the application.”
Dialogue can now be entered within Propel Rx and will update the patient’s Clinical History. This will allow dialogue to be tracked in one location for continuity of care.
This is only just the beginning. You’ve asked and we listened. Lots of exciting things are happening with the launch of Propel Rx. You’ll quickly experience why Propel Rx is the pharmacy software upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
