Community Pharmacy
In August 2010 EMIS Group acquired a controlling interest in Rx Systems Limited (known as Rx Systems) which is a software company that develops and supplies computer systems used (as at June 2012) by over 36% of all community pharmacies in the United Kingdom.
Rx Systems is partly owned by EMIS Group plc and partly by Phoenix Group.
Rx Systems supplies computer systems and provides managed network services to community pharmacies in the United Kingdom. Part of that managed service is the support of the respective government agencies' Electronic Transfer of Prescription and associated IT projects. Like other competitor systems, data stored includes all details of a patient's medical history, acute and repeat medication record and increasingly recording other clinical data.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
