Implementing unit dose in your hospital provides many benefits, as dispensing the entire blister card to the patient is not economical.
However, cutting up blisters by hand is time consuming, causes hand fatigue and can potentially be dangerous.
Adding safe and affordable automation to this process saves your technicians from the repetitive stress and keeps their hands away from blades. It also allows them to use their time for more valuable activities.
After you have separated your blister cards into individual blister units, it is necessary to ensure every individual pill has the complete and correct information for proper identification.
Cut up blister cards lack the complete drug information needed to accurately identify the medication, leaving room for medication errors.
Unit dose packaging ensures each individual dose contains all critical drug information readable to the human eye. It may also contain a barcode if your hospital has implemented a bedside barcode system.
Fortunately, there are various ways to achieve a unit dose system in your pharmacy, all while considering your budget.
