LOT Number Labeling

In Part 2 of this series we analyzed 4 of the 5 Items that contributed to the time spent filling a prescription manually.  Two of these items could not be reduced, Item 5, the Pharmacist’s inspection, and Item 3, delivery of the finished script to the pickup area (only because no one does it). Several full robotic units handle Item 4, the vial selection and labeling chore, and we estimated they saved 7 seconds out of 8 seconds (another estimate).
