The SP Central Pharmacy Management System,
recently released by ScriptPro, integrates hardware and software to automate
prescription fulfillment from the point of entry to the point of sale.
Features of the pharmacy system include interactive voice response,
telepharmacy, mobile dispensing and electronic signature devices, in addition
to medication therapy management and long-term care modules. The product is
designed to eliminate the obstacles that pharmacy operators may encounter when
dealing with multiple sources for technology, integration, and support. To
help increase productivity, the SP Central Pharmacy Management System also
includes electronic exception queues, automated faxing for refill and
insurance prior authorization, e-prescribing, and back office third-party
billing and reconciliation modules.
ScriptPro also recently introduced SP 50, joining
the SP 100 and SP 200 robotic prescription dispensing systems already on the
market. The new system is targeted for pharmacies with space constrictions or
lower prescription volumes (i.e., <150 prescriptions per day). The robotic arm
of the SP 50 takes a prescription vial to a medication cell for hands-free
dispensing and labeling. The cells can be calibrated on site to handle all
tablets and capsules. Bar code scanning ensures the correct drug is being
dispensed. The pharmacist can then compare the pills in the vial with the
computer image from ScriptPro's drug database.
"ScriptPro's master plan for pharmacy technology
is built from the ground up with the foundation of advanced robotics,
communications technologies, and pharmacy industry best practices," said Mike
Coughlin, the company's President and CEO. "Our mission is to provide
technology to help pharmacies deliver the maximum contribution to the health
care system."
