New Technology Evaluation Guide Aids Pharmacies in Evaluating Robotic Prescription Dispensing Systems

MISSION, KS—January 5, 2004—ScriptPro's new Technology Evaluation Guide is now available to pharmacy professionals. During the last year, retail and ambulatory pharmacies dispensed over 3 billion prescriptions in the U.S. There is an ever-increasing need for pharmacies to utilize robotic dispensing technology to meet the challenges of profitability, operational stability, and growing prescription demand.

ScriptPro developed this Guide to aid pharmacy professionals in comparing and evaluating robotic prescription dispensing systems. Factors include: safety, accuracy, reliability, software interface, implementation, ; and vendor service and support. With the increasing number of automation products available, many pharmacy operators are confused about what they need and should expect from the automated dispensing systems and the vendors that stand behind them.

The Guide presents tables outlining key questions that should be asked in selecting robotic automation. It is a workbook with columns for writing in candidate systems and responses to the key questions.
