Identifying Optimal Solutions for Pharmacy Initiatives

PhACTS, Pharmacy Automation Consulting Technologies, is a team of experts that identify optimal means to meet your objectives as they relate to automation, logistics, workflow process, perpetual inventory, and barcode medication administration. PhACTS ensures that systems recommended for your hospital or health system are selected using criteria that focus on the unique characteristics and initiatives of your pharmacy. This is the essential foundation to choosing the correct systems.

Our team members designed the first pharmacy inventory management software that was integrated with carousel technology to automate a hospital pharmacy over 15 years ago. That software is still in use today.

Our team has created efficiencies in Wholesaler-to-Pharmacy software platforms. We look beyond normal purchasing behavior to maximize efficiencies as they relate to Market Share Agreements, 340B purchasing processes, and remote web based ordering with "split-PO" capability to save both time and money.

Our Mobile PC technology expertise enables Managers to have peace of mind ensuring that all fulfillment transactions are picked from anywhere in the Pharmacy at any time without interruption.

We've gone beyond Pharmacy to help the Hospital IT department to save a tremendous amount of time and effort by incorporating our proprietary MedRex Stat Interface Engine. This tool was developed by a team which has 20 years of interfacing with HL7 specialty and provides a simple, low hospital IT resource interfacing tool. The "drag & drop" capability creates interfaces in minutes and makes any implementation as well as future upgrades in all related pharmacy systems simple and easy to manage.

Improves Productivity

QDM can automate dispensing of your pharmacy's top-selling drugs for improved pharmacy productivity and efficiency. Rather than repetitive manual counting, QDM frees pharmacists to focus on medication therapy, counseling and other patient care services.

QDM can simultaneously count multiple drugs and pre-count minimum quantities so they are ready for dispensing. Dispense filled prescriptions in any order by simply scanning the prescription label. QDM highlights the appropriate cell and dispenses the drug directly into the labeled vial.

Improves Patient Safety

In addition to numerous built-in patient safety features such as password protection, QDM prevents cross-contamination of drugs with a design that utilizes separate cells and chutes for each medication. Incoming air for cooling is filtered to maintain cabinet cleanliness.

QDM automatically tracks drug lot numbers and expiration dates. Bar code scanning and other built-in safeguards prevent dispensing and restocking errors. For additional dispensing safety, the QDM monitor displays patient, drug and prescription information and can display a full-color image of the drug.*

Compact Modular Design

With its small 32" x 14" footprint, QDM makes efficient use of space and easily fits into most existing pharmacies. Four bottom row dispensing chutes support larger or high volume drugs. Simply add a Model 2400 cabinet to expand your formulary.
