ABOUT OUR NEW RX LOCAL APP

  • Our new app (referred to as RX Local) is a product of Pioneer RX, our new pharmacy management software. 
  • To better serve our patients, effective December 15, 2021, the RX Local app will be the only app available for Chancy Drugs patients.
  • We have many patients using the Chancy Drugs app that is administered through Digital Pharmacist (the app in the app store with the Chancy Drugs logo). Effective December 15th, the Digital Pharmacist app will no longer work. All patients need to start using the RX Local app prior to December 15th.

 

WHY RX LOCAL IS IMPORTANT

  • The RX Local app provides a convenient way for patients to request refills, message staff directly at their pharmacy location, and set up medication reminders from their phone!
  • When patients use the app for refills and communication with our staff, it can help drastically cut down on phone calls in your store, which helps create more efficient workflow.

 

HOW TO GET THE APP

  • Patients can download the RX LOCAL app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. 
  • We also have a scannable QR code that links to the app download. Open the camera app on your phone, and act as though you're taking a picture of the barcode. You will then be prompted to download the app on your phone.
  • The QR code will be on all the promotional materials you give to patients. 
  • For more information on downloading the app, click here.

HOW WE TELL OUR PATIENTS

  • Signage in stores.
  • Brochures to give patients when talking to them about the app (this is great for drive-thru patients).
  • Messages on on-hold phone system.
  • Prescribed Wellness text messages to patients.
  • Social media posts 
  • Talking to our patients in the store! When patients walk in or call to request a refill, ask them if they know we have an app where they can request refills from their phone. Then walk them through how to get the app. 
  • QR Codes are now printing on every patient receipt. See below for an example of what the patient will see when their mobile phone scans the QR code prompting them to download the app. A yellow outline should appear around the QR code. Simply click the link that appears at the top of your mobile screen to download the app.  
  • Please note there is an additional QR code printing on our receipts. The other code will link patients to education about their medications. In order to download the app, they need to make sure the QR code for the app is the code that is scanned.
