QS1
QS1 is a widely-used software system that helps pharmacies manage their daily operations. Think of it as an all-in-one tool that pharmacists and pharmacy staff use to handle prescriptions, track inventory, process insurance claims, and manage patient records. It's similar to how a cash register system works in retail, but specifically designed for pharmacies with all their special needs. Other similar systems include PioneerRx and Rx30. QS1 is particularly common in independent pharmacies and small to medium-sized pharmacy chains.
