Pharmacy automation comprises automating the process of handling and distributing medicines. Automated medication dispensing systems, automated medication compounding systems, automated packaging and labeling systems, table-top counters, and storage and retrieval systems can be utilized in hospitals and retail pharmacies.
These systems play a vital role in improving efficiency, avoiding contamination, reducing medication errors, and minimizing labor cost.
Decentralized Automated Dispensing Medication Systems
Patient safety is always a key focus in hospitals. Automated medication dispensing systems are decentralized medicine distribution systems, which offer automated controlled storage, tracking, and dispensing of medicines. These systems are widely used in hospitals. Automated medication dispensing system accounted for the largest market share in recent years and is also predicted to be the fastest growing segment over the forecast period (2017 to 2022). This growth is associated with rising need for accurate and timely dispensing of a treatment routine and need to evade dispensing errors related with type and quantity of commonly prescribed medication. These systems can also provide better inventory management, greater storage, and optimal utilization of space.
Omnicell, Inc. recently launched a new system, XT Series Automated Supply Dispensing Cabinet. This next-generation supply solution is designed to provide flexibility and greater storage capacity. The new XT cabinets works on Windows 10 operating system and comprises recent Starbus electronics architecture, which is well-suited for future innovations. This system can be used to improve supply chain management.
