47 IT�491re <br />ya., independent heoliheom choice. <br />Within our eMAR, tracking renewals of maintenance medications is easy. For the Jail, <br />we will ensure that renewals of maintenance medications are consistent and ongoing so <br />as not to place an inmate's health at risk. Under no circumstances will maintenance <br />medications or keep -on -person (KOP) medications lapse. Our pharmacists review all <br />orders, verifying prescriptions for accuracy, safe dosage, allergies, specified length of <br />time, need for drug, and duplications. Our providers review inmate records for <br />medications near expiration and ensure that inmates assigned to regular chronic care <br />check-ups have medications renewed on time. Within our eMAR, our pharmacists <br />search for prescriptions which are nearing expiration and request appropriate refills. All <br />of NaphCare's pharmaceutical operations comply with NCCHCJ-0-02 Medication <br />Services, which mandates that medication services are clinically appropriate and <br />provided in a timely, safe, and sufficient manner. <br />Cost Containment Initiatives <br />NaphCare's in-house pharmacy ensures maximum pharmaceutical savings for you. Since <br />pharmacy services are not contracted out to a third party, you do not experience middle <br />man expenses. <br />We always look for opportunities for better or preferential pricing. One of the ways we <br />save you money is in branded medications: the more generics we purchase, the higher <br />your discounts are on branded medications. <br />Another way our in-house pharmacists save you money is by reviewing all refills in <br />Tech Care®, ensuring inmate medication compliance within the medication <br />administration record (MAR), and checking to ensure the inmate is active priorto filling. <br />The result is reduced waste and buildup of unused medications. <br />Within TechCare®, we track and trend data on drug use and pricing to determine <br />which drugs are most expensive. An inmate's active status is always verified before <br />prescriptions are filled. An example of this process in action is in the administration of <br />HIV medications at several of our sites. With our Quality Processes and Systems, we are <br />able to dispense medications in seven-day supplies as opposed to the standard 30-day <br />supply used by other pharmacies. With the high turnover thatjails see, and with <br />average length of stay less than one month, our seven-day dispensing process has <br />significantly reduced costs for our existing clients. <br />b. Medications will be administered to inmate daily as prescribed, twenty-four (24) hours per day <br />and seven (7) days each week by an individual authorized to administer medications by nature <br />of training and licensure as required by law. <br />Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) <br />NaphCare's eMAR is specifically designed for use in correctional facilities. It is included <br />within Tech Care® and is not a separate system. This integration promotes consistency <br />within records of care and does not cost the City additional money. It is also <br />customizable to meet the unique needs of the SAJ. <br />Inmate Medical Services RFP No. 17-051 <br />City of Santa Ana 44 <br />
