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.
The biggest challenge we had was that we had a huge patient load and we were having to fill a lot of prescriptions. We just weren’t able to keep up with just our tech’s and pharmacists. We had to find a way to automate so we could fill prescriptions faster and safer
“Since installing the RapidPakRx, we’ve seen our daily fills go up by about 50 scripts per day on average and we’ve seen our EQuIPP star ratings go up.”
A primary reason that we selected the strip packager was that our customers appreciate that the pouches are easy to open – this is a very important feature for an aging patient population.
“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.”
“If I was a pharmacist looking for something to bring in where I was going to invest my money, the RapidPakRx definitely is a valuable tool that you can use to market your pharmacy, grow your business and push your pharmacy forward in the community.”
