From a 7-day multi-dose pack card (Dispill), a multi-dose pouch (Parata Pass) and 30-60-90 count Bingo cards set up to patient pass or time pass with dose per blister packaging.

Our company uses robotics and is the only pharmacy in the nation to use 3 linked Script-Pro robots for dispensing for nursing facilities. The system is proven and reliable to automate the repetitive manual dispensing tasks with 100% accuracy that is most subject to human error. The robotics interface with the pharmacy computer system to fill, label and collate up to 150 prescriptions per hour.

We also recognize that there are some situations that require personalized attention, our support staff of experienced pharmacy technicians can also pack for unique needs.

  • Parata Pass – Patient Adherence Strip System— all drugs are packaged in strip pouch packs and can be set-up multi-med with each pouch being a med-pass containing all the medications for that time of administration. Non-compliant administration times and variable dose medications may be packaged alone, as well as dose variables. Rx drugs and OTC drugs can be packaged separately from each other. Strip can be set up in variable amount of days (whatever makes sense for the facility). Each pouch is Bar coded for verification of the medications within that Pouch. Strips can have messages / warnings/ alerts placed on an empty pouch prior to the administered drug i.e.: Blood Pressure check message/ Warfarin warning / etc.
