The PharmaSmart program consists of five core elements – technology, connectivity, branding, pharmacy services, and new revenue creation.
 
 
 
'''Technology''': The clinically validated PS2000 with Connectivity blood pressure kiosk utilizes “Smart Card” technology to conveniently track and retain patient readings over time, while providing printed reports with averages. PharmaSmart’s commitment to one button operation ensures ease of use, maximizing customer usage.
 
 
 
'''Connectivity''': Utilizing wired or wireless internet technology and patented “Smart ID” protocol,the PS2000 with Connectivity can upload data to an online Blood Pressure Tracker web application, which allows pharmacy/patient access from any computer.
 
 
 
'''Branding''': All elements (Blood Pressure Smart Cards, software, tickets, online portal) can be fully branded to support your branding and marketing objectives. This increases the reach of your brand both inside and outside of the pharmacy. PharmaSmart offers retail pharmacies a distinct competitive advantage with the high-value hypertensive patient.
 
 
 
'''Pharmacy Services''': Offering your pharmacy a comprehensive wellness package that delivers value-added services for all patients.
 
 
 
'''New Revenue Creation''': PharmaSmart provides the program and tools that convert the hypertensive consumer into a new and recurring revenue opportunity. By empowering your pharmacy team to become “Experts in Blood Pressure Management,” the PharmaSmart program will drive significant and sustainable profits through Blood Pressure Smart Card sales. Every hypertensive, diabetic and borderline disease state patient is a candidate for a Smart Card and a subsequent consultation.
 
 
==Providing Shareholder Information==
 
 
*Provide the shareholder basic information on the Pharmasmart Blood Pressure Machine:
 
#Independent Profile SH 4.2.14
 
#Sales Pricing CAD Retail Independent
 
 
The files are located: {{unc|\\\\superserver.unipharm.local\Medicine Centre\2.0 Medicine Centre 2.0\PharmaSmart Blood Pressure Machines|\\superserver.unipharm.local\Medicine Centre\2.0 Medicine Centre 2.0\PharmaSmart Blood Pressure Machines}}

==Setting up Shareholder on Pharmasmart==
 
*Forward contact information for Rep to the shareholder
 
*Lease and Purchase '''options''' available
 
*Cancellations require '''1 month''' notice
 
*PharmaSmart bills '''uniPHARM''' and we charge the '''stores''' accordingly
 
*Negotiate '''rate''' every couple of years.
 
 
==Servicing Machines==
 
*In the past we sent technicians to each site we have a kiosk located at and they performed preventative maintenance usually 1-2 times a year. After years of doing this we found that only 4% of the kiosks in the field actually needed service so we have cut out physical tech visits and we now perform '''tele-diagnostics''' over the phone.
 
 
*All of your units are '''covered''' under their lease terms so if at any time a store feels there is an issue with their unit they can call '''800-781-0323''' and our '''customer support''' can assist them and they will dispatch a technician to the site if necessary. The units use '''self calibrating technology''' so stores do not need to worry about their unit needing to be '''calibrated'''.
 
 
*As for the cost for '''paper rolls''', we stopped having our techs bring paper rolls to sites over 5 years ago, I’m not sure if that site was saying it just stopped however we have not been doing that for some time. To '''reorder supplies''' stores need to dial the same '''800 number''' and pricing is typically $9.75 for a 5 pack or $39 for a 20 pack + Shipping, [http://pharma-smart.com/products-services/print-marketing/ Order Here]. Each roll of paper generally lasts '''30 days''' depending on store traffic. If it would make your shareholders happier we could set up warehousing for the paper rolls where your stores could order directly from you guys.
