Automated Medication Verification

iA (formerly Innovation Associates)

Innovation introduces PharmASSIST OPTIx, an optical counting and imaging technology that allows pharmacies to automate the counting and processing of all medications and perform remote prescription verification. PharmASSIST OPTIx takes a high-resolution image of each prescription’s vial contents and vial label, and displays them on a designated workstation. The pharmacist compares these images and specific prescription details to the drug image and information from a standardized drug database to complete the verification. The pharmacist can be stationed anywhere in the pharmacy or at a remote location. PharmASSIST OPTIx stores each prescription’s images as part of the patient history record, enabling pharmacies to quickly retrieve them for pharmacy benefit manager audits and to confirm the quantity dispensed.
