A New Model for Remote Medication Management

The InSite Remote Dispensing System allows the central pharmacy to place asecure, automated medication dispensing unit at each facility they service.With InSite, medications are already at the facility and pharmacist-approvedmedication orders are immediately available for dispensing inpatient-specific, multi-dose packaging.

The innovative InSite system helps eliminate the need to createtime-consuming, waste-prone medication blister packs. It also enables fasterFirst Doses, gives nursing staff more time for other tasks, and allowsdown-to-the-dose accountability at each facility.

With centralized inventory monitoring, InSite requires far fewer scheduleddeliveries and special courier runs from the central pharmacy in order to meetthe changing needs of the facilities.

"Healthcare system pharmacies are increasingly looking for ways to improvethe safety and efficiency of their pharmacy operations beyond the traditionalin-patient settings," Corkern continued. "In a challenging economy, a growingnumber of hospital pharmacies are being asked to improve cost controls andfind new revenue sources. The InSite system improves the partnership betweencentral pharmacies and the facilities they support, and enables newopportunities for growth and safety improvements," she concluded.
