By using Track & Trace solutions from Swisslog, material transport and medication management automation integrates to create complete visibility of medication delivery. The process starts with MedPortal Inventory Management Software—new medications are scanned into inventory and securely stored in the automated pharmacy storage system. When a patient order arrives, medication is scanned out of pharmacy storage and scanned into the TransLogic Pneumatic Tube System for transport. The Track & Trace solution then documents that the medication has arrived at its destination. Bedside scanning closes the tracking loop before administration to the patient. By identifying where medications are in the delivery process, Track & Trace helps to improve efficiency and ensure timely medication delivery.
