Bar Code Medication Dispensing

The IntelliShelf-Rx™ system is the first solution to introduce bar-code automation to stationary shelves. Regardless of pharmacy volume, footprint or staffing level, IntelliShelf-Rx increases picking accuracy by reducing medication errors, lowers inventory, enables paperless dispensing and checking, and reduces technician training time. 

Key Benefits

• Improves picking accuracy.
• Reduces potential of look-alike/sound-alike medication errors.
• Streamlines medication picking and restocking.
• Trims inventory by 15% with Fulfill-Rx software.
• Provides device-level optimization to ensure medication availability.

Featuring advanced workflow software, RF-enabled "guiding-light" technology, and bar-code scanning technologies, IntelliShelf-Rx is an easy upgrade to existing medication pick stations. Technicians follow the bar-code-driven workflow for rapid and accurate patient-specific, and batch-fill dispensing. The pharmacy automation ensures that first dose, cart fill, and cabinet restock operations are more efficient and safer with IntelliShelf-Rx compared to a manual environment.

The IntelliShelf-Rx system also creates an electronic inventory, providing:

• A quick credit process for medications returned to the pharmacy.
• Automated billing and inventory updates.
• Perpetual inventory control through online tracking and management.
• Automated electronic reordering at best contract prices available through the Fulfill-Rx solution.
