The work of six people is done by just one with the help of this latest technology with ease and precision. It gives other employees’ time to involve in other clinical services and leads to increase in efficiency of inventory management and workforce.
• Less scope of error: The automation of the system has led to fewer mistakes done on the part of employees and the operator gets right prescription in a timely manner.
• One time investment: This one time investment works for years and makes the company unique and different in the competitive market. The out of the box thinking about robotic pharmacy has made the work easier and accurate and the one time investment does generate more revenue than the cost.
• Personal Attention: May patients need personal attention and more time with the doctor, but that was not possible initially with all the work in the laboratory. Now, with the use of robots it gives more time for operators to talk and guide their patients well about the medications.
