Allcare Correctional Pharmacy is an Arkansas-based pharmacy, and all Allcare pharmacists are licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy. Allcare Correctional pharmacists dispense medications only on the order of a licensed physician, or other caregiver approved by law, to prescribe medication. Allcare pharmacists dispense medications in blister cards, or similar unit-dosing packaging systems, compliant with both State of Arkansas and federal law and regulations regarding the handling, accountability for and dispensing of drugs.

Allcare Correctional Pharmacy has developed a number of innovative formulary management programs, such as our exclusive Collaborative Practice Agreements, which enable our clinical pharmacists to therapeutically substitute medications. We automatically make generic substitutions. We also identify potential over-utilization by analyzing therapeutic categories of inmate and practitioner utilization. The Allcare system electronically handles non-formulary requests, to more efficiently ensure formulary compliance.

Allcare pharmacy is open around the clock, 365 days a year. A pharmacist is on duty at all times. In the event of an emergency, all the medical services contractor’s medical staff needs to do is call our contact number. The benefit to our correctional customers is that Allcare is capable of promptly responding within Arkansas to emergencies, STAT orders, and issues that require the pharmacy’s attention. We do not need to rely on external local pharmacies for dispensing and delivering urgent STAT orders.
