A few things to consider about automated dispensing.
Many pharmacy owners are still wrestling with whether to invest in automated dispensing. Some feel they aren’t large enough. Others just don’t want to change how they’ve been doing things. And, others may just think it’s too expensive. If you’re among those pharmacists who haven’t automated dispensing for these or other reasons, here are a few things to consider.
One, you can afford state-of-the-art robotic dispensing (our RxMedic ADS™) if you do as few as 150 prescriptions per day. And, you can afford our RxMedic ACS™ counting system if you do far less. And, you can do it for probably less than you think, particularly when you consider all these advantages:
- Elevate patient safety. Studies show automated dispensing increases accuracy and patient safety.
- Lower operating costs. Fill more prescriptions with fewer employees and by stabilizing the costs to process a prescription.
- Retain & recruit employees. Automated dispensing reduces stress and distraction making employees happier and enabling them to better use their skills and training.
- Provide faster service. Process prescriptions faster than ever, even process refills overnight.
- Improve customer service. Automated dispensing frees employees to spend more time with customers.
- Increase productivity and profitability. Automated dispensing helps you get a better handle on workflow. Also, better customer service leads to increased sales and profits. Automation also frees pharmacists for counseling as it becomes a greater profit center.
- Improve your pharmacy’s image. Customers see healthcare technology as a sign of competence. They want you to be utilizing technology that helps them.
Add these advantages to your pharmacy with an automated dispensing system and you’ll wonder why you ever waited so long.
