Handheld Medication Management

The future of pharmacy is at your fingertips with the handheld scanning device that transforms medication management and stops the labor-intensive procedures that contribute to unnecessary risk, costs and waste. The handheld system scans barcodes and transmit drug order information, track deliveries, streamline credits (where permitted) and eliminate handwritten drug destruction reports. No faxing or label peeling is required!

Handheld Benefits:

  • Eliminates fax and manual data transcription – easy for nurse to use and redirects more time to patient care
  • Saves nursing time and reduces costs – nearly 100 hours per month for a 100-bed facility!*
  • Provides real-time access to information - the searchable database by patient name, drug name and number gives a direct link to PharMerica, so our customers see what we see
  • Increases accountability – know who scanned the barcode and when
  • Verifies order information immediately- to give peace of mind and remove uncertainty about pharmacy transactions
  • Allows quick access to PharMerica's E-Formulary
  • Improves quality, efficiency, reliability and inventory control – making a substantial, positive impact to the facility bottom line and management operations
