Pharmacy automation is helping hospitals to improve patient outcomes and reduce expenses for the hospital over the long term, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
New technologies are saving time and space and increasing the pharmacy functionality.
For instance, new dispensing cabinets now are being designed around existing hospital floor plans for efficient use of space.
Also, in new cabinet designs, all of the pockets are locked when the main drawer is opened. This system increases medication security.
