Lean Filling
Assisting The Retail Pharmacy Process & Improving Profit Margins
Utilizing RoboPharma’s Lean Filling software and process engineering, the retail pharmacy saves a tremendous amount of time, storage, inventory, and labor (and thus expense) by pre-handling repeat prescription medications from the wholesaler – which averages 70% of a pharmacy’s total orders. The pharmacy can stock a much lower level of common chronic use medications in-house, relying on the wholesaler instead for the vast majority of daily orders.
Contact UsHow Our Lean Filling Technology Works:
- Repeat prescriptions are ID’d in the central filling module of your pharmacy’s PMR system.
- These repeat prescriptions are forwarded to the Lean Filling software at adjustable time intervals.
- Repeat prescriptions are automatically custom ordered at the wholesaler, and the wholesaler delivers these repeat prescription medications in separate, marked totes.
- Once Lean Filling totes are received, the pharmacy technicians use RoboPharma’s barcode-driven racking system and bins, and software to quickly sort each received medication packet to a specific patient order bin.
- Using a RoboLabel station, each medication is verified and labeled, and the order is bagged and labeled.
- The patient order is then ready to be stored in the pharmacy’s will call area.
