Context
The central pharmacy has been moving towards a technician-led organisation in the past years. Automation and two Omnicell robotic storage systems have helped to smooth the pharmacy’s workflow and have resulted in faster work turnaround.
Challenges
- Returning part packs is time consuming and error prone
- Time spent on operational and repetitive tasks
Benefits
Reduction in return time
From 1 hour to 30 minutes to return 40 packs after ULM installation.
Reduction in medication waste
Teams can easily find out if a medication pack has already been opened, therefore a new pack is only opened if required.
Significant Savings
Significant time savings, cost savings and reduction in increased splitting waste.
