Pharmacy Automation and Efficiency from AutoMed®

AutoMed®, a solution from the AmerisourceBergen Technology Group, offers institutional pharmacies a full range of oral solid medication packaging options. AutoMed compliance packaging is ideal for facilities trying to identify increasingly effective ways to contain costs, gain a competitive edge and, at the same time, improve patient care. AutoMed compliance packaging is dispensed via a FastPak™ automation system in continuous strips of individual unit dose or multi-dose packets. Package labels can include a wealth of patient and medication information, plus multiple barcode formats. Since doses are collated by the time of day and patient, caregivers only must pull doses needed for the immediate medication pass - there's no need to stage the next dose or rotate medications. Administration cycles are virtually unlimited, from a cycle as short as 24 hours to 90 days or longer. This can reduce the waste that results when prescriptions are changed or medications are discontinued. AutoMed's FastPak systems allow you to purchase oral solids in bulk, saving up to 7 cents per dose.

The AmerisourceBergen Technology Group offers the pharmacy industry's most flexible, most comprehensive approaches to enhance medication safety and improve efficiency.
