Some of the #SmartSolutions are as follows:
Imagine an IP Pharmacy in a hospital, it will require a space of around 400-600 square meters. Real estate is the most expensive part of any hospital and best space management is need of the hour. SNG’s AVSRS allows a fully automated vertical pharmacy storage and retrieval solution with similar storage space of 400-600 square metres with a foot print of only around 10 square meters, leaving the valuable space for other departments of the hospitals or even more patient care beds and other services. The solution with changes can also be applied for food trolley to wards, CSSD packages, fresh linen storage, retrieval & deliveries to different floor levels.Automated Hospital PharmacyToday in hospital IP pharmacy spaces, the major challenges faced are storage and dispensing of prescribed drugs per patient. Nurses at ward levels get involved in preparing exaction dosage for each prescription for patients consuming more than 40 per cent of their time in handling drugs. While in OP pharmacy, time consumed to read, pick and delivery is prescription reference order to the OP patients is huge. Some hospitals have more than 3000 OP patients being handled – now imagine if each prescription takes around three to five minutes to dispense the order – for 3000 prescriptions it will take the OP pharmacy around 150–250 hours each day. In all reality, this is never achieved causing immense discomfort and frustration to the pharmacy operators as well as the patients. SNG offers high speed full automated IP and OP pharmacy storage and dispensing solutions to address these challenges.
