Medication & Supplies Management
Dispensing medications and supplies manually is a time-consuming operation. A typical pharmacist has to work longer hours and often forced to hire additional staff to handle increased workloads. This extra workload did not allow the time to focus on safety issues. This new factor led to the concept of using automated pharmacy solutions. The advanced medication dispensing systems use shared database which eliminates redundant data entry that can lead to errors and form seamless integration with healthcare information systems and interoperability that creates safer, more efficient workflow
