RetrieveRx

Marketed by: QS/1

Pharmacies can quickly store and retrieve patient prescriptions with RetrieveRx. The fully integrated solution uses RxMedic prescription bags. RetrieveRx is driven by the NRx Pharmacy Management System. The pharmacy maintains RetrieveRx completely within NRx, eliminating the need to learn a new system. RetrieveRx uses storage bags with color-coded lights for easy identification. Once prescriptions are filled, medications are assigned and placed into a bag. When the patient picks up the prescriptions, RetrieveRx sends a signal to the bag, which activates the lights to alert pharmacy staff where they can find the medications. Employees can be assigned their own light display combination.

RightStock

Marketed by: McKesson Automation Solutions

Hospital pharmacies can improve inventory and work flow processes with the RightStock inventory management feature. Exclusive to McKesson’s AcuDose-Rx medication dispensing cabinets, RightStock automatically optimizes cabinet inventory, reduces expired medication rates, cuts down on stock outs, and reduces inventory costs. The system combines intelligent features that enable hospital pharmacies to monitor and dynamically adjust inventory levels based on historical or peak usage, per medication and per cabinet; prevent potential stock outs before they happen with automatic reorder triggers; set restock frequency based on pharmacy needs; and ensure that permanent medications remain available in each cabinet. RightStock also reduces the time needed for pharmacists to analyze reports and make inventory decisions.
