The Reliable Pharmaceutical Service is a privately held company incorporated in 1975 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It provides pharmacy services to health-care delivery organizations that are too small to have their own in-house pharmacy.

Order-entry, billing, and inventory-management procedures are a hodgepodge of manual and Computer-assisted methods. RPS has to give away its old way of operations and built a new beginning with technology and application plans. Several studies and much anecdotal evidence point to "software aging" as a common phenomenon, in which the state of a software system degrades with time. Exhaustion of system resources, data corruption, and numerical error accumulation are the primary symptoms of this degradation, which may eventually lead to performance …show more content…
