Pharmacy Automation Systems - The Genius Behind
Pharmacies serving long term care environments such as skilled nursing or nursing homes, assisted living, group homes for persons with learning disabilities and / or developmental disorders and correctional facilities, these pharmacies typically use three methods for packaging medications into medication adherence packaging solutions:
- Manual filling and sealing
- Pre-Pack
- Automation
Automation -With automation, a pharmacy fills prescriptions into a medication adherence packages as soon as medication orders (prescriptions) are received, rather than pre-packing medications (see pre-pack) in anticipation of future orders. Pharmacies may also choose to increase their efficiency by filling medication orders in groups, such as in batch or by location.
Using automation to fill medication adherence packages measurably increases a pharmacy's throughput, and reduces the need for manual interventions when compared to traditional manual filling and pre-packing.
