ABSTRACT:
An automatic manufacturer switchover function to switch a set of future new, transfer, refill, and/or copy prescriptions to a new manufacturer product for a pharmacy. Furthermore, the claimed method and system may allow for a tiered approach to a manufacturer switch by allowing a corporate entity or owner of a pharmacy network to designate a pharmacy wide preferred manufacturer (or generic product) while giving a local pharmacy the power to decide when to implement a switchover at a local level. In one embodiment, the claimed switching system and process may also provide indications to pharmacists and customers to guide a transition from one manufacturer to another, thereby preserving customer perception of quality and pharmacy reputation.
