Zero-touch, zero-error pharmacy workflow
Elevate care and safety with precision workflow automation across the medication journey.
While automation has long been part of medication management across the continuum of care, there are often gaps with manual tasks that introduce potential for error and inefficiency. The Autonomous Pharmacy seeks to remove those gaps through a more continuous automated workflow.
From central pharmacy to the patient care area and beyond, workflow automation powered by digital processes and advanced robotic technology replaces taxing manual processes. This not only allows clinicians to work at the top of their license, but it also enables greater efficiency and safety – key goals of the Autonomous Pharmacy.
Shift from menial to meaningful
The goal of clinical workflow automation is not to remove humans from the process, but rather to elevate them to more meaningful work. Instead of performing manual, redundant, administrative tasks, pharmacists and other clinicians can spend more time on clinical work that more directly contributes to patient care and outcomes.
Time-saving technology fuels efficiency
The Autonomous Pharmacy strives to replace outdated workflows with reliable technology that improves control of inventory and removes time-taxing processes by performing thousands of manual functions with pinpoint accuracy.
Zero-touch central pharmacy means no more sorting, picking, checking, reconciling, transporting, or any other error-prone manual workflow. And automation does not just mean physical machines like robotics and dispensing systems. Data intelligence software also plays a key role in driving smarter workflows.

Safe workflows ensure the right medication at the right time
Automation helps removes human error to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety. Simplify and secure medication workflows wherever patients receive care—from the OR to nursing units to care settings outside the hospital.

Nurses can remotely queue medications away from the automated dispensing cabinet, where fewer interruptions are likely to cause errors.
Automated label printers and barcoding in the OR and nursing units help ensure the correct medication is administered.
Intelligent analytics help you save time while increasing scrutiny of potential drug diversion that can lead to patient harm.
Improving workflow in retail and community pharmacies
Now more than ever, retail and community pharmacies are positioned to play an important role in improving population health in the communities they serve. However, managing volumes of patient prescriptions can mire pharmacists in time-intensive physical and administrative tasks that impede progress. That’s where automation can help.
Our Patient Engagement Platform orchestrates advanced clinical interventions and personalized omnichannel communications, enabling lifelong optimal health for your patients and members. To facilitate fulfillment of multimed adherence packaging, we offer software solutions to guide the process and help reduce errors. In addition, a range of single-dose blister cards and automation is available.
