PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME
Closed-door and long-term care pharmacies are relied upon heavily to
provide and deliver medications safely and accurately. Their patients
often have complex medication regimens, making dispensing an
opportunity for increased efficiency and productivity. Automated strip
packaging allows pharmacies to address customers’ needs while
expanding their business reach and becoming more competitive against
chain and mail order pharmacies. Customized packaging features
also improve adherence as well as ease of use for patients and
their caregivers.
Noritsu Pharmacy Automation offers the latest in pharmacy automation
technology, including strip pouch packaging systems that reduce labor
and boost efficiency. Custom multi-dose medication packages address
the specialized needs of closed-door and long-term care pharmacies and
help patients reach compliance goals.
THE CHALLENGE
In the age of online pharmacy giants, today’s closed-door pharmacies
must function as distribution warehouses, while remaining focused on
successful patient health outcomes. To grow a strong customer base,
pharmacies constantly strive to improve accuracy and increase capacity,
