Introducing ScriptPro Robotic Prescription-Dispensing Systems

1. Introducing ScriptPro Robotic Prescription-Dispensing Systems By Maher Ishak

2. Introduction A pharmacist with more than 35 years of experience, Maher Ishak serves the clients of Woodbury Pharmacy in New York. Since 2006, Maher Ishak has used the Script Pro robotic dispensing system to fill prescriptions quickly and accurately.

3. About Robotic Prescription Dispensers Dependable and efficient, the robotic prescription dispensers from Script Pro reduce both workload and stress for pharmacists. The machine takes over between 50 and 65 percent of the daily work time of an average pharmacy, including the repetitive tasks of counting, filling, and labeling prescriptions. In doing so, the robotic system frees pharmacists to attend to customers and makes it possible to do more without adding staff. The system also fills prescriptions as quickly as 150 bottles per hour, which lets patients receive their medications faster and in turn improves customer satisfaction.

4. Conclusion The system works by providing specialized storage for the pharmacy's most commonly dispensed products. The machine releases the product directly into the container that the customer will receive, thus preventing the cross-contamination possible when counting and filling prescriptions by hand. The machine also removes the possibility of human error in counting, prevents dropped pills, and guards against filling a vial with the wrong prescription, thus improving safety as well as convenience.
