SIGMA Pharmaceuticals is claiming an Australian pharmacy first with the launch today of an in-store integrated medicine database.
Developed in partnership with UnityHealth in association with the University of Sydney and a range of "leading integrated health organisations," the new system is dubbed S.H.E.R.P.A. (Sigma Holistic Evidence References and Patient Advice).
S.H.E.R.P.A. is free and exclusive to Amcal and Guardian Pharmacy members, and includes a searchable research database, a herb-drug-nutrient interactions database, printable customer information, a repository of product information and an integrated medicine newsfeed.
Sigma chief operating officer Gary Dunne said the system recognised the need for pharmacists to have access to credible evidence-based information - see page three.
