Since we got the RxSafe we’ve found that our workflow is more efficient, our fills are more accurate and the speed allows us to focus on patient needs more than any other automation solution could.
How a California Pharmacy Beats the Chains
Make Your Pharmacy Competitive with RxSafe
Save Space Instead of Remodeling with RxSafe.
The high cost of retail space in California makes it hard for independent pharmacies to be profitable. Remodeling or moving to a larger space will cost you money or customers in the transition. Ken Thai, owner of El Monte Pharmacy was contemplating moving to a larger space, but when he say RxSafe’s high-density storage capabilities he realized he did not have to.
The El Monte Pharmacy in California competes with the chain drugstores. In 12 years, the independent pharmacy has grown in size to more than 40 employees, filling more than 1,000 scripts per day. El Monte uses an RxSafe system. El Monte has automated 85% of its pharmacy’s production volume by leveraging the efficiency of the RxSafe 1800 system. RxSafe’s ability to pay for itself in as little as 12 months — coupled with tax savings achieved under IRS Section 179.
Comprehensive, Automated Robotic Storage and Retrieval for Retail Pharmacies
The RxSafe 1800™ is a pharmacy workflow solution that represents a revolutionary leap in the scope of robotic pharmacy automation technology and automated drug dispensing systems. Rather than simply automating fast-moving drugs the RxSafe 1800 provides secure robotic storage and retrieval for retail pharmacy inventory.
RxSafe technology automatically and accurately tracks all drugs in the pharmacy down to the pill or package, while greatly enhancing pharmacy efficiency. Since all drugs are stored in native packaging, there is no need for pharmacy staff to spend time manually restocking dispensing cells. The remote stock management feature manages all the inventory and filling, even if it’s in the refrigerator. And, we’re compatible with virtually all pharmacy management software.
The RxSafe 1800 is available as a Single or Multi Tower Automated Drug Dispensing System
Adding the RxSafe to our pharmacy has allowed us to reduce the number of employees, monitor inventory levels remotely, and have the assurance of knowing that the machine is a deterrent for theft.
In just six weeks, we’re seeing tangible results in staff productivity and we’ve been able to focus more on compounding in our new compounding lab and on our customer care.
When we were broken into last year, the burglars took all the drugs off the pharmacy shelf, but they didn’t even touch the RxSafe.
I would absolutely purchase the RxSafe again. It does exactly what I was told it would do, and the support has been phenomenal!
A specific area that we’ve been able to see a tremendous savings in time is through assigning tech’s to other areas. Prior to implementing the RxSafe they were handling inventory management responsibilities. Now we’ve been able to move a tech to our Med Sync program, effectively eliminating 30-40 hours per week of technician time.
