Improved Patient Safety. The utilization of RFID technology heightens patient safety by minimizing the probability of medication mistakes.
Enhanced Efficiency. RFID technology optimizes pharmacy operations, minimizing the time and effort needed for inventory management, prescription dispensing, and record-keeping.
Cost Savings. Through the reduction of medication errors, minimization of inventory wastage, and the optimization of workflows, pharmacies can achieve long-term cost savings.
Compliance and Reporting. Pharmacies can easily generate compliance reports and track medication dispensing patterns using RFID data, helping them adhere to regulatory requirements.
Real-time Visibility. RFID technology provides real-time visibility into medication inventory, ensuring that medications are always available when needed, reducing the risk of stockouts.
The manual management of pharmacy-based medication kits is a labor-intensive process rife with opportunity for error, especially during inventory and restocking. For hospital facilities that manage a large number of medication kits and trays, ensuring that every medication and pharmacy product is accurate, within expiration dates, and accounted for before and after use can be a challenging task. While bar coding all medications to the dose level can assist greatly in inventory management, human error remains when stocking and managing medication kits.
In recent years, a new technology has been applied to medication tracking and management—radio frequency identification (RFID). The application of RFID to pharmaceutical tracking and management promises to assist in developing a comprehensive system for controlling medication kits and trays.
Incorporating RFID tags into medication packaging enables pharmacists to perform real-time verification of each product's authenticity. As soon as the stock nears a predetermined threshold, the system can automatically initiate the reorder process, minimizing the chances of medication shortages and ensuring timely prescription fulfillment for patients.
