PMS reduces the workload of the pharmacists as it executes the tasks of counting, filling, capping and labelling the prescriptions. By eliminating the majority of the manual work, PMS allows pharmacists to focus on more important responsibilities like conducting immunization campaigns and health screening programmes.
Higher Safety and ProductivityThe implementation of PMS reduces the probability of clinical errors and drug contamination. It also takes proactive initiatives of filling in patient prescriptions after working hours so that patients may receive the medicines early the next day. This saves a lot of time and is particularly beneficial to pharmacies that are crowded and have driven-through options.
Enhanced Patient SatisfactionWaiting times of patients are remarkably reduced by the usage of PMS. This is particularly meaningful in crisis and emergency situations. Since the patient’s needs are addressed immediately without much delay, their satisfaction levels are likely to increase.
Effective Cost Control and Waste ManagementIt allows pharmacists to dispense medications accurately with minimal wastage. Since these systems are automated, they promote re-usability especially in the context of injection vials. The reduction in waste results in better long term savings and reduces healthcare costs.
