We are currently on CPS 12 and looking to interface either our existing pharmacy software or another pharmacy software with Centricity and looking if anyone with Centricity has already done this.
We will continue to use e-prescribing for sending medication requests, but would like to interface patient demographic information to the pharmacy and billing information back into Centricity (orders).
Thank you!

what software is your pharmacy using? does it accept HL7 or does it run off a SQL Database?
We currently use QS1, that does use HL7. Apparently and interface was attempted several years ago, but did not work because of differences in how each software interpreted HL7 standards.
We are looking at possibly using Qvera to help solve this issue, but I was just curious if anyone out in CHUG land had any experience with interfacing a pharmacy system and could provide any tips.
I haven't interfaced to a pharmacy system, however, I pretty sure it still can be done. You can use Qvera, i don't I just build my own, but if you have a sample of what your pharmacy HL7 is requiring, I don't see it being a problem.
