TORBAL ® Rx brings you pillcounting.com - experience our tablet counters, learn about our technology, understand the features...
Details of performed counting transactions are instantly recorded by the TORBAL Server. Transactions are compiled into graphs and charts for easy and fast interpretation. General system activity is displayed in a pie chart called the "Workstation usage". The chart shows how many prescriptions have been counted on a particular workstation, allowing the administrator to make sure that prescriptions are evenly spread out among all workstation in the system. The "Transaction activity" line graph shows the number of transactions performed in a specified time frame. This graph is often used to interpret prescription counting and processing patters. Other graphs show information pertaining to pill counting transaction made by specific users and workstations.
Observations on Pharmacy Automation in Retail Pharmacies |
The state of the art in large robotic prescription filling machines (start with an empty vial and finish with a labeled vial with the required pills in it) is such that it is not economically justifiable to use them in most retail pharmacies, and even when they are used a 200 cell unit will only aid in dispensing between 50% and 67% of scripts that can be filled by tablet counting. A 100 cell robot will do about 2/3 as many scripts because the drugs are usually picked on a usage basis. Not a negligible feat, but far from complete automation.
