Enhanced software from QS/1 is designed to help pharmacies take advantage of the Drug Enforcement Agency's newly created Controlled Substance Ordering System. Designed to eliminate rekeying of data, the enhancements to the RxCare Plus, NRx, and PrimeCare products create an interface between the pharmacy and wholesaler software.

The South Carolina–based company also announced that its interactive voice response system (IVR) allows patients of pharmacies with one or more location to call one telephone number to order prescription refills. The refills can be ordered at any time of day and are automatically routed to the patient's selected location. Only one IVR server is necessary to handle telephone calls at all locations, QS/1 reports.
