Albertsons selects PDX to provide pharmacy technology solution

FORT WORTH, Texas Albertsons has selected PDX and affiliates Rx.com and NHIN to provide its pharmacy technology solution, replacing its current system with the new Enterprise Pharmacy System.

The chain's pharmacies will implement the Rx.com Electronic Pharmacy Record, which facilitates chainwide DUR checking and allows patients the convenience of shopping at any Albertsons LLC pharmacy. In addition, NHIN will provide complete submissions, reconciliations and collections services for the retailer, as well as manage its day-to-day central host operations via Host Administrative Services.

 The company plans to pilot EPS in pharmacies in Texas and Arizona later this year, and will roll out the technology companywide in 2010. Albertsons LLC currently operates nearly 250 stores in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas.
