Improved pharmacy services -
Using InstyMeds, healthcare providers can cost effectively
provide prescription services to patients at point of
medical care. For hospitals and large medical facilities
that already provide outpatient pharmacy services, InstyMeds
can serve as an adjunct, resulting in cost savings as
well as allowing pharmacists to be redeployed within
the healthcare system. Improved health outcomes - 20-25%
of prescriptions are never filled, resulting in dangerous
and costly non-compliance – having prescriptions
dispensed quickly and conveniently at point-of-care
will improve compliance – thus resulting in better
medical care. Medical errors reduced - The Institute
for Safe Medication Practices has called for 100% of
prescriptions to be electronic by 2003 – InstyMeds
provides healthcare providers with the technology necessary
to meet this goal. Reduced staff time responding to pharmacy
callbacks - InstyMeds will reduce the number of callbacks
to prescribing physicians due to formulary rejections
and handwriting interpretation questions.

Leveraging pharmacist’s
expertise - The InstyMeds™ dispensing system combines
pharmacists with automation in order to provide patients
with the best healthcare available today. The InstyMeds™
system frees pharmacists from the laborious and error
prone job of dispensing (package selection, pill counting
and labeling). Instead, pharmacists are freed up to
perform critical healthcare activities such as patient
counseling and consultation with physicians regarding
appropriate drug therapies, drug interactions, dosing
and adverse reactions.
