Backup for PharmaPartners
PharmaPartners does not automatically create a backup of your dispensing records and patient medication data. Here is what is genuinely at stake — and how to protect it in under an hour.
((WGBO (Dutch Medical Treatment Act) — 15 years + NEN 7510))
What is actually stored in PharmaPartners?
PharmaPartners is the daily operational backbone for many pharmacies and dispensing practices. What most users don't realise: all that data is not automatically protected against loss.
Typical data that lives in PharmaPartners and can be lost:
- medication dispensing records — all dispensed medications per patient with timestamps
- prescription histories — full prescription history per patient from all prescribers
- patient profiles — patient profiles including allergies and contraindications
- stock data — stock levels, expiry dates and supplier orders
All of this data falls under WGBO (Dutch Medical Treatment Act) — 15 years + NEN 7510, which means you must be able to reproduce it for 15 years.
Does PharmaPartners automatically create a backup?
PharmaPartners is cloud-based, so your data is safe — right? This is the most common misconception among pharmacies and dispensing practices.
PharmaPartners guarantees that the platform runs, not that your data can be recovered after ransomware or errors.
Ransomware
Encrypts everything — including data synchronised via PharmaPartners. Without an offline backup you have no clean recovery point.
Human error
A deleted record, an overwritten import or a mistaken bulk action — PharmaPartners offers limited or no undo functionality after more than no standard undo function.
Ransomware stops the dispensing process
A ransomware attack on the pharmacy server can make it impossible to verify medication history or contraindications — directly threatening patient safety.
How Mindtime protects PharmaPartners data
Mindtime connects directly to PharmaPartners via a local agent on the pharmacy server and creates continuous incremental backups.
