Lack of inventory control and inventory accuracy is costing pharmacies money through expired stock and a lack of bulk buying power. Patient safety is being compromised through dispensing errors, many human interactions, time constraints and multiple dispensing processes. Stock counts and inventory management take too long – painstakingly counting cupboards and shelves of individual tablets and medication boxes.

Omnicell's next generation robotic dispensing solution for retail pharmacy will:

• Save money - embrace technology and better organise pharmacy workflows to save space, reduce storage, eliminate overstocking and out of date medications.
• Save time - dispense more prescriptions, faster; put time back into face to face patient contact; build a resource efficient hub and spoke business.
• Reduce errors - eliminate manual packing and help to reduce the risk of costly human errors when loading and dispensing medications.
