“Our clinic has two functions, a family practice
residency training program and indigent patient
care. In 1990, the pharmacy filled 70 scripts per day.
By 2001, our volume had increased to 225 and just two
years later we were filling almost 400 scripts per day.
There was just no way in a limited space to add more
people and become more efficient. We looked at a few
systems and hands down, I’d not seen any technology
that comes close to ScriptPro’s.

“At first we only wanted a robot so
we looked at the SP 200. We were
blown away with the number of
prescriptions it would fill per hour
plus putting the medication in the
bottle and labeling the bottle, then
delivering it without a lid. I like the
idea of going to the conveyer belt
where I can look at the inside of
the vial and know exactly what is
in there.
“Then I looked at the workflow software, SP Central® Workflow. I was sold on the fact that it would definitely
decrease the number of errors. And sure enough,
it catches me occasionally pulling, for example, an
Albuterol inhaler instead of an inhalation solution.
“One of the biggest things SP Central helped with is the
batching of prescriptions. When we started filling 300 a
day, we started having problems with people picking up
prescriptions that didn’t belong to them because they
were batched improperly. I knew that we desperately
needed to put something in place to help with that.
“The nicest thing since getting ScriptPro is that I go
home at night completely relieved of the fear that I
might not have filled prescriptions
correctly. I see so many times a
day that we catch things that we
couldn’t catch before.”

“The system has been a godsend
to us in terms of reducing the risks
of medical errors and improving
upon our productivity. Just the
productivity portion alone should
allow the system to pay for itself in about three years. I
just can’t imagine any pharmacy not having ScriptPro.”
