Technology sets RxSafe apart. One of our most recent developments is the DRI™, the first-of-its-kind, message initiation “data rich interchange” for the retail pharmacy market. This protocol is essential for real workflow, providing pharmacy management with a complete suite of reports at their fingertips. The DRI is an integral part of every RxSafe product, making it a unique offering in pharmacy management software. With the development of the DRI, pharmacy workflow becomes even more robust and streamlined than ever before.
RxSafe is one of the few companies that uses thermal printing for all its strip packaging—that means more flexibility and lower operating costs. Virtually anything can be printed onto the strip packaging including graphics, text, symbology, bar codes, etc. The information can be customized to your exact needs. Since no ribbons are needed, there are no replacement costs or maintenance fees incurred—just one more way that RxSafe passes along cost savings to you.
Experience the unparalleled, robotic automation technology of the RxASP 600™. No more trays or remote filling stations. No more down time to load trays. Plus, no more errors from hand filling trays—the RxASP 600 can hold up to 600 RFID canisters*, while our universal canisters dispense virtually all non-loaded oral solid medications such as gel caps, half tabs, etc. PakCheckRx™, our optional integrated machine vision inspection means higher accuracy and less cost. Restocking occurs while the machine is fully functioning, so there’s no down time. Even cleaning is far less time consuming. More things get done in less time, greatly enhancing pharmacy efficiency. The RxASP family of machines has the lowest daily operating costs in the industry—we use automatic, variable packet length and our consumable pouch material costs are notably the least expensive. *More RFID canisters can be stored nearby to be swapped in and out. RxSafe does not recommend the purchase of “spare” packaging units—further space and cost savings.
“The return on investment using the RxSafe 1800 is not only in dollars and cents, but it’s been in the security knowing that our medications are held in a secure device and are coming out accurately.”
“The ability for it to pull products correctly no matter where they are is so important. We used to have problems locating products daily – now the RxSafe locates them immediately.”
“We’ve been able to free up space with the RxSafe in our pharmacy. It’s freed up areas that we use for bubble packing, compounding and convenience packaging that we do for our long-term care and assisted living faciltiies.”
I love my RxSafe! I owned a competitor’s product before and the RxSafe technology is light years ahead of them.
“I’ve seen improvement in several areas of the pharmacy since we introduced the RxSafe. Productivity has increased, inventory control has improved, we’ve saved money on labor and our accuracy is exceptional.” With RxSafe, accountability is built in to the prescription processing workflow. We don’t have concerns about accuracy or diversion since we added it to our pharmacy – those have been eliminated.”
“Our workflow is so much smoother now and I know that the prescriptions the patients are getting are correct. The RxSafe always delivers the right drug for each prescription, it’s double-checked with the Eyecon and everything is done at one station.”
Paw Paw Village introduced the RxSafe 1800 two tower system in one of our 6 stores a year ago. We’ve seen the cost of generics increase the cost of on-hand inventory by an average of $30k in all of our stores except the one with the RxSafe. That store has actually seen a $50k decrease in on-hand inventory costs. This totals $80k in savings attributed to the RxSafe. We’ve also seen our inventory turns increase from 17 turns per year to 23+ turns per year. In addition, we’ve been able to reduce our labor costs by an average of 200 to 250 labor hours per month, which basically covered the payment on the unit. Therefore in four years that labor savings will go directly to cash flow.
I think the most important capability is speed and accuracy. It allows 1 person to fill a multitude of prescriptions quickly and accurately. With the RxSafe it finds it very quickly and brings the correct drug every single time to the operator.
The accuracy of the RxSafe gives me complete peace of mind. As the one responsible for any mistakes made in my pharmacy, this is priceless.
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.
