“I have a RapidPakRx in my location in Palm Springs, and it does help manage all the sync patients very well.”
One of the things we liked about the RapidPakRx was that the cartridges are universal for all tablets. Previously, we had to worry about getting new canisters or changing out parts for it to make it work, but with the RapidPakRx, you just have a couple sizes of canisters and it works for any tablet that you have.
“Pioneer and RapidPakRx just makes sense. You have a pharmacy software vendor that does a great job at med sync and a machine that can interpret your HOA codes in Pioneer. It is easy to setup custom sig codes that can be interpreted by the RapidPak, and customer service from both companies did a great job of making sure that our go live with the RapidPakRx went as smooth as possible.”
“Prior to installing the RapidPakRx we were packaging for about 85 patients, and just three months in, we’re over 150 patients at this point.”
The one thing that made the RapidPakRx really attractive was the universal cartridges. With the other machines, the biggest headache was that since we switch NDCs all the time, the machine became less and less useful as we had to wait for cartridges versus with the RapidPakRx, no matter what NDC we get that day, we know it’s going to work in the machine.
