Pharmacy automation entails the mechanization of various processes in pharmacies or in other healthcare settings. Processes such as distribution and dispensing of medications are time-consuming and tedious, which gives rise to the scope for errors. Automating such processes can not only reduce errors but increase patient safety, staff productivity, and lower cost. Additionally, automation helps to provide a competitive advantage over others, reduces operating expenses and helps free up staffs for other core business activities. Pharmacy automation is not a new development, but the trend is consolidating gradually. The global pharmacy automation market is poised to achieve substantial growth in the coming years.
The intensifying need to minimize medication errors is a key factor boosting the growth of the pharmacy automation market. Medication errors arising out of poor communication channels, confusing labels, and improper storage practices can result in dangerous outcomes. Medication errors are identified among the most common cause of readmissions. Automated medication dispensing systems can reduce such errors and are being increasingly adopted across the globe. The governments in multiple countries are encouraging the use of automated systems in pharmacies and hospitals, which too is likely to stimulate the growth of the market in the coming years.
Not only dispensing but other processes such as storage, packaging, labeling, pickup, and distribution can be automated. The rising cost of labor, especially in the developed countries has prompted companies to adopt automated systems to reduce human intervention and keep their profit margins intact. Constantly changing pharmaceutical regulations are also prompting the use of automation as they help to remain compliant with regulations. Technological advancements in software such as handwriting recognition are also fueling the growth of the pharmacy automation market.
