Tell me how pharmacies prevent accidents when they dispense drugs?
Technology has helped a great deal preventing accidents. For example, the robot we use in the hospital pharmacy doesn’t look as much like fat little man as a big computer, but being a robot it can’t make is mistake. Robots like this one are fairy common in sophisticated pharmacies because they’re tireless, round the clock workers for repetitive tasks. Our robot holds approximately 200 different drugs which the robot automatically counts, labels and dispenses 24×7. Bar coding is another new way pharmacies are preventing accidents in matching prescriptions for medications.
