Swisslog announces the release of MedPortal, a fully integrated software for pharmacy inventory management. The Web-based software allows control and management of the drug spend, supporting multilocation drug management in a single facility or across multiple sites within an organization. Through its user interface, pharmacy directors have access to actionable data on drug utilization and inventory status. The software helps facilities increase patient safety by improving visibility to inventory regardless of where it is located and accurately tracking expired drugs for removal from the system. Users can confirm dispense orders to ensure the correct drugs are going to the appropriate patients. The software also improves data access and facilitates formulary updates to actively manage drug shortages.
