RxAdvanced: Advanced Hospital Pharmacist Training
Ensure your staff pharmacists stay competent in key clinical areas.
Every year, hospital pharmacies need to ensure that staff pharmacists stay competent in key clinical areas as required by accrediting bodies like The Joint Commission or regulatory agencies like CMS/Medicare. TRC Healthcare created RxAdvanced to provide high-quality, “right sized” training content and assessment quizzes that offer CE credit, with an easy way for administrators to track staff competency.
RxAdvanced helps your pharmacists deepen their knowledge and take the lead in applying the latest research, guidelines, and standards to their practice through concise, affordable, high-quality CE programs. Plus, it provides easy reporting for you to document competence and demonstrate ROI.
In addition, with our all-access package, administrators get access to the Learning Management Portal where they can manage users, request assignments, run completion reports, and benchmark improvements. Pharmacists can also the CE/CME & Training Organizer to view assignments and track CE requirements for license renewal.
