PharmAssess Mission
Our mission is
to help pharmacists execute
advanced clinical services
As healthcare providers, pharmacists are uniquely accessible to provide clinical care. PharmAssess drives pharmacists to unlock their unique clinical potential, by creating solutions that empower pharmacists to execute their advanced scope of practice with ease and confidence. As minor ailment prescribing becomes progressively adopted in Canada, PharmAssess supports pharmacists in making clinical decisions, automating administrative tasks, and strengthening patient relationships.
AN UNMET NEED
- Interviewing 10 pharmacists in Saskatchewan, ailment assessment time ranges from 15-20 minutes per condition.
- Upon demonstration of the PharmAssess minor ailment tool, pharmacists estimate they would save ~10 minutes of time per assessment, with our streamlined interface – a 2x boost in efficiency.
Community pharmacies are overburdened
-
A 2016 Canadian pharmacy summit showed that pharmacists struggle to provide advanced services because:
- 86% of pharmacists report insufficient time
- 92% report competing priorities in the pharmacy workplace
- 86% agree that lack of confidence is a barrier to using their expertise
“ PharmAssess returns time to busy pharmacists,
allowing them to embrace clinical opportunities ”
PharmAssess provides a unique solution to streamline minor ailment prescribing, particularly in busy pharmacy environments where time is of the essence. The minor ailment module is a way for pharmacies to practice their expanded scope of practice, easily, with greater confidence and accuracy. PMS-integration, a step-by-step diagnostic workflow, as well as DermNet-integrated condition photographs and MedSask-integrated therapeutic algorithms come together to improve the way pharmacies can manage this clinical service.

At Pack4U Ontario, a busy central fill pharmacy, we use PharmAssess to conduct our medication reviews with patients remotely. It saves the pharmacy a substantial amount of time via its integration with the pharmacy management software, where medications, patient demographic info and doctor details auto-fill the documentation. Pharmaceutical opinion billing & documentation is integrated which allows us to easily bridge this additional service, and the automatic faxing function allows us to skip sending faxes manually. There are also auto-fill features that suggest pre-populated efficacy & safety information based on medication/indication input. The module also comes with a handy, integrated adverse effect search that generates the most prevalent ADEs for inputted medications. Overall, pharmacies benefit from a greatly streamlined med review process that saves a significant amount of time!

PharmAssess is the first of its kind to provide a diagnostic edge in the pharmacy workplace to assist pharmacists in the diagnostic and treatment process of minor common ailments. It not only optimizes the use of valuable time, but it can also reinforce the patient-pharmacist interaction. By encouraging pharmacists to re-ask critical questions to confirm patient input. This comprehensive yet efficient diagnostic tool may be the future of minor ailment diagnosis and treatment especially in a busy environment, especially if it is able to integrate in current pharmacy software.

PharmAssess is trying to innovate the minor ailment landscape for pharmacies by attempting to streamline documentation, improve workflow efficiency, and provide better patient care. Their diagnostic tool utilizes independent patient input to attempt a predicted diagnosis for the pharmacist in potential treatment, counselling, and monitoring parameters. This tool may ultimately help the pharmacist optimize their time in diagnosis and treatment while also respecting the pharmacy workflow.
