This service is designed for use by any pharmacist working in a pharmacy registered on IPU NET. To avail of the suite of products available, both the pharmacy and any pharmacist users must register with IPU NET. • Clinical Support Tool IPU NET creates a range of products which can be used as a step-by-step guide in delivering a patient service in a community pharmacy. This complements Standard Operating Procedures and other support material already provided by the IPU for members’ use. • Record Service Provision IPU NET also facilitates the recording of service provision. Records created can either be saved in electronic or paper format. The very useful “Reports” function provides each registered pharmacy with information on services delivered by their pharmacy, such as an “Activity Log” which allows the identification of trends in service delivery in that pharmacy and supports planning to meet this need. • Demonstrate Value of Pharmacy Services As this is a web-based application, records from individual pharmacies can be aggregated on an anonymised basis, purely for statistical purposes. The anonymised information collated will allow the IPU to promote the role of community pharmacy in patient services and demonstrate evidence of the effectiveness of delivering these patient services in community pharmacies. IPU NET is an innovative application to support and promote the role of community pharmacy in providing a broad range of convenient, accessible and cost effective healthcare care services to our patients and the public. 1 IPU NET Launch Guide 16pp:Layout 1 20/04/2012 14:04 Page 2 Section One: Registration Procedure Step One: Log on to www.ipunet.ie This will bring you to IPU NET’s home page where you can register with IPU NET.
