The Pharmacy Tracking and Dispensing System uses the assembly line concept to improve the operational efficiency and accuracy of the medicine dispensing process.
The biggest challenges facing our medication dispensing system today are patient waiting time and dispensing errors. In our hospital pharmacies today, we often have one medicine dispenser, who takes care of the entire prescription of a patient. The process involves reading the prescription accurately, walking to the various shelves to locate the appropriate medicine and then sorting it out for the patient. As a result, more time is spent and this manual process of drug selection provides room for error.
The Pharmacy Tracking and Dispensing System was designed to streamline the picking and packing of medication and reduce processing time. There is even a courier service available for patients on repeat prescriptions or long-term medication, where the drugs are delivered directly to the patient’s home.
Key components of the system include:
- Prescription management module
- Drug label printing module
- Enquiry module
- Courier service module
