Automating your pharmacy and producing blister cards with SynMed means:
It is also a way to provide patients with safe and personalized medication administration tools.
The labour shortage in pharmacies remains a hot topic. Pharmacies are overworked, understaffed and therefore less able to get closer to their patients. These problems are leading to burnout among health professionals, while the demand for medicines is bound to increase as the population ages.
At Synergy Medical, we are convinced that pharmacy automation is the most effective way to solve this problem. Indeed, the automation of repetitive tasks is the best way to reduce the pressure on staff and therefore improve their satisfaction. In addition, the use of SynMed technology offers up to 15 times the speed of blister card production and unparalleled accuracy. By reducing the time spent on manual filling, your staff can focus their energy on developing your pharmacy and building relationships with patients.
According to Healthmart, pharmacies that fill 250+ prescriptions by hand each day make about 4 errors per day. With a SynMed system, once the containers are properly loaded, a robotic arm automatically selects and places the medications in the blister card at a rate of up to 45 or 90 cards per hour depending on the system used. With a SynMed XF, a single operator can produce 1,000 blister cards in a 40-hour week. Most importantly, the system is 99.98% accurate!
