Q. What is the most challenging aspect of beginning automation in the pharmacy? is my opinion and based on today’s market environment, the timing commitment of capital expense and cash flow is the largest hurdle many pharmacies have to overcome. But, once the decision to move forward realized, assembling project team and timeline of all goals with date centric achievements to “go-live” is most critical. Manufacturers typically assist project driven timeline, which allows for key tasks during the implementation process to not be overlooked. project team of key leaders in pharmacy with ongoing meetings is also critical for accountability, to ensure that all tasks are handled, and that any hurdles are actively being managed and eliminated.

Q. How do you calculate the impact of automation ROI? We have traditionally taken more simplistic method of calculating ROI, using the payback method (number of years to pay off the automation). As an example, in current project, the costof therobotis$1.5M,whereasoursavingsof laborreduction annually is $836K, equaling 1.79 years to pay off the automation and then reach profits. Typically, is our opinion that anything under 1.8 to 1.5 years is very achievable and advantageous with the right automation.

Q. What are the top resources to find the best types of automation available? Meeting manufacturers at industry conventions, online resources such as RXinsider, reaching out to other industry colleagues, and also discussing eligible options with your GPO are a few key ways to determine what may best your needs.

Q. When should you consider automation? Planning and understanding your market and business goals, well pre-marketing business growth analysis will help guide the decision between pre-pack and on-demand automation. We have successfully utilized pre-pack automation in the early stages of pharmacy start-ups, added on-demand automation in more mature pharmacies, and also have used on-demand automation in new startup pharmacies where we knew advantageous ROI would be achieved based on prescription output. With such wide variety of available products on the market, automation can always greatly assist in reducing pharmacy costs and gaining workflow efficiency for any and all pharmacies.

From this system, we can continue to analyze your production volume to ensure that you are getting the most out of DOSIS Systems and generating more revenue, causing you to thrive!

No more empty promises, DOSIS Systems works to deliver more blister cards with less effort. DOSIS Systems — Automation Subscription Puts an Emphasis on Results

Features & Options

Company Background DOSIS Systems is seeing pharmacies all over the country improve their efficiencies in workflow, increase production volumes, and become more profitable. We have a proven track record of automating up to 80% of a pharmacy’s blister card volume. This includes pharmacies that are currently producing over 250,000 blister cards per month. In order to do this, we focus on each pharmacy’s needs. This allows us to offer the best solution for each partner pharmacy and increase their efficiencies where it matters most.

Another partner pharmacy is filling 250,000 cards per month for SNF patients with DOSIS Systems filling over 200,000 cards every month (dailies and cycles). DOSIS automatically prints color-coded med-pass information on every label in this system based on the prescription data. A 48,000-card-permonth pharmacy is getting 37,000 cards per month via DOSIS Systems. It is actively converting away from the cycle-fill model because it is more efficient for them to fill on-demand using their integrated DOSIS automation. They have already eliminated pre-packs from their workflow “to reduce inventory and extra touches.” Using DOSIS Systems to automate filling cards and printing timepass labels, an 18,000-card pharmacy doubled in size without adding any staff on the floor. At another pharmacy doing 180,000 cards per month with 75% filled by DOSIS, the returnto-stock feature allows them to efficiently track and re-use cards filled for scripts that are canceled before shipping. For a pharmacy filling 97,000 on-demand cards each month, the pre-pack manager feature extends the productivity of the DOSIS Systems by automatically restocking pre-pack card inventory after hours — DOSIS produces 58,000 cards each month, and the pharmacy is open less than 60 hours per week. Every month, DOSIS Systems fill over 3 million cards in large and small pharmacies; SNF, mental health, and corrections; dailies, cycles, pre-packs; with and without med-pass and auxiliary label information; single- and multiple-tablet per blister; calendar-start and straight-fill.

By customizing the capacity, features, and workflow integration, DOSIS Systems can make a tremendous impact in a wide variety of pharmacies. For example, a 55,000-cards-per-month pharmacy serving mental health patients is producing 35,000 cards per month in DOSIS automation while providing different filling and labeling formats for their various customer facilities.

Proper storage is critical to ensure the safety and viability of life-saving vaccines, medications, patient samples, reagents, and other temperaturesensitive materials. Temperature variations can have a severe impact on these products, reducing their shelf life, efficacy, and effectiveness. It is important to choose refrigerators and freezers that have been designed specifically for healthcare applications to ensure they meet the rigorous performance standards outlined in the new standard for safe storage.

Solutions Designed With You in Mind

NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard Certification GX Solutions medical-grade refrigerators and freezers from Helmer were one of the first to be certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. The standard was created to further define temperature performance standards and key feature requirements for refrigerators and freezers used to store vaccines. It was developed using real-world use cases common to healthcare environments. To achieve certification, temperature performance standards must be achieved across all storage locations with varying load conditions and use cases and validated by a certified third-party testing facility.

Peace of mind for your patients Temperature monitoring for direct-to-patient shipments Getting medication to patients in the right temperature range is critical for reducing unnecessary reshipments. Including a TransTracker® in outgoing medication shipments can help. These inexpensive, singleuse indicators monitor temperature exposures – letting your patients know at-a-glance whether medication has gotten too hot or too cold while in transit. Learn more about how TransTracker cards, manufactured by Temptime, can help you give your patients added peace of mind while helping you save money by avoiding medication replacements.TEMPERATUREzebra.com/transtrackerINTELLIGENCE® zebra.com

Package Performance Qualification

Altru Specialty Pharmacy is a part of Altru Health System, which serves people in North Dakota and parts of Minnesota. What began in 2014 as a grassroots effort with one technician working in partnership with the PharmD has grown to include three full-time technicians and three fulltime pharmacists. Still, t he specialty pharmacy’s mission has remained the same: to enhance care and improve the overall health and wellbeing of its pat ients.

“We learned a lot in that initial evaluation of our packaging,” Kalenze says. Zebra gave Altru guidance on coolers and other packing materials best for cold chain shipments to help improve its packout design. “We made a few tweaks with the intent of giving patients even greater confidence in t he medications we deliver – and Zebra was a great help t hrough the entire process,” Kalenze says. Altru t hen moved on to phase two for further testing of the passing phase one package design.

About Altru Specialty Pharmacy

SUCCESS STORY ALTRU SPECIALTY

The specialty pharmacy did its first round of testing in 2019. “We started with our refrigerated packouts, which need to be kept between 2°C and 8°C. We tested in cold weather to make sure packages were staying in range for the amount of time we anticipated shipments to take,” says Kalenze. In phase one, Altru included two different wireless sensors. A n M 300 measured temperatures inside t he medication packaging at regular intervals and an S-400 monitored the external ambient temperature in t he ou ter box. Test packages were sent to Zebra, which analyzed the captured data.

Altru Specialty Pharmacy

Altru ultimately chose Zebra’s third-party Package Performance Qualification (PPQ) testing to show that its packouts were configured and performing correctly.

Altru Specialty Pharmacy Altru Health System Industry Specialty Pharmacy Challenge After seven years of growth, the pharmacy began to explore the performance of its shipping packouts to make sure it could maintain its mission: to enhance care and improve the overall health and well-being of its patients. Solution Altru ultimately chose Zebra* package performance qualification (PPQ) testing to show that packouts were configured and performing correctly. Testing is conducted in two phases to allow Zebra to capture and thoroughly analyze all the information required to prepare the PPQ report. Results Altru has instituted best practices throughout the shipping process that deliver peace of mind for the pharmacy, as well as its patients. Another benefit is that the PPQ testing will help the pharmacy achieve URAC accreditation.

Background According to Rosemary Kalenze, PharmD, Outpatient Pharmacy Manager for Altru, the pharmacy initially thought it would be best to test the performance of its medication packages using Joint Commission accreditation requirements in addition to US Pharmacopeia (USP) best practices for good s torage and distribution of drug products, which many accreditation agencies use as a guideline. “We live and work in a climate that can be -40ºF in the winter and 100ºF in the summer,” explains Kalenze. “To be sure we are giving our patients the best possible care, it’s important to know we are sending drug products in such a way that they remain both effective and safe.”

Altru went on to complete its second round of PPQ testing with ease.

In the end, she says, “PPQ testing just delivers peace of mind – for the pharmacy as well as for pat ients.”

“We tested controlled room temperature (CRT) and refrigerated shipments during t he summer to ensure packouts keep medication from getting too hot,” says Kalenze. “With all we learned in our previous testing, the process the second time around was much smoother and we successfully passed phase one on the first try.”

More than that, she adds, most of the drugs the pharmacy delivers such as cancer medications – are critical to patients. “They have to arrive on t ime and in good condition; it’s imperative.”

Rosemary Kalenze, PharmD, Outpatient Pharmacy Manager

“And everything we have done will apply.” Looking Forward Altru’s next step was to test CRT packages during the colder seasons and retest refrigerated packouts. “Regular, seasonal PPQ testing is just so important,” Kalenze says. “Our patients trust us – and we need to continually earn that trust with every single shipment that goes out.”

The Results

“To be sure we are giving our patients the best possible care, it’s important to know we are sending drug products in such a way that they remain both effective and safe.”

Aside from ensuring packages performed the way it needed them to, Kalenze says one of the most significant benefits has been instituting best practices t hroughout t he shipping process. “ Now every shipment of refrigerated medication is packed the same way,” she says. “In the past, t here were no specific guidelines. So one person might include one icepack in a shipment w here another might put in t hree, w hich could cause medication to freeze.”

In phase two, test packages were prepared in the same way, but this time shipped to various geographies using different modes of transportation such as courier and FedEx. Again, Zebra collected the time-temperature data, t his t ime using t he information to prepare a PPQ Report t hat shows t he qualification of t he packouts.

The specialty pharmacy was also pleasantly surprised to find that the PPQ testing would help with its URAC accreditation, which it began working toward in October 2019. “A lot of URAC’s requirements are centered on providing documented proof that medication temperatures are monitored and maintained,” says Kalenze.

Q. What are the greatest benefits of pharmacy automation?

Q. Do you believe automation in the pharmacy impacts morale? We have found automation to have a huge positive impact on morale in the pharmacy. Typically, pharmacies without automation struggle with work flow; one example being dispatch times. Once automation is implemented, we have found the workload to be greatly reduced on manual filling, out times to be achieved, and overall success on service and reduction in costs to exceed expectations. However, messaging is key prior to deployment, as reductions in force may cause some employees to believe they are being replaced causing uneasiness. Over time, the benefits will outweigh all this and be realized by all team members.

Miriam Cho, PharmD, President/CPO, MAC Rx

Q. How do you calculate the impact of automation ROI? We have traditionally taken a more simplistic method of calculating ROI, using the payback method (number of years to pay off the automation). As an example, in a current project, the cost of the robot is $1.5M, whereas our savings of labor reduction annually is $836K, equaling 1.79 years to pay off the automation and then reach profits. Typically, it is our opinion that anything under 1.8 to 1.5 years is very achievable and advantageous with the right automation.

• If we are achieving our goal output.

Utilizing automation in the pharmacy allows for the ability to efficiently manage workflow, control labor costs, improve accuracy related to human error, and provide relief to current operational concerns related to the current labor market.

Meeting manufacturers at industry conventions, online resources such as RXinsider, reaching out to other industry colleagues, and also discussing eligible options with your GPO are a few key ways to determine what may best fit your needs.

• The performance achieved vs. what we envisioned.

Q. What are the top resources to find the best types of automation available?

Q. How do you measure the efficiency of the automated systems/devices?

Planning and understanding your market and business goals, as well as pre-marketing business growth analysis will help guide the decision between pre-pack and on-demand automation. We have successfully utilized pre-pack automation in the early stages of pharmacy start-ups, added on-demand automation in more mature pharmacies, and also have used on-demand automation in new startup pharmacies where we knew an advantageous ROI would be achieved based on prescription output. With such a wide variety of available products on the market, automation can always greatly assist in reducing pharmacy costs and gaining workflow efficiency for any and all pharmacies.

FALL 2022 I RETAIL/COMMUNITY • SPECIALTY • LTC TECHNOLOGYROBOTICS&AUTOMATIONPHARMACY Q&A48 AQ

Q. What is the most challenging aspect of beginning automation in the pharmacy? It is my opinion and based on today’s market environment, the timing commitment of capital expense and cash flow is the largest hurdle many pharmacies have to overcome. But, once the decision to move forward is realized, assembling a project team and timeline of all goals with date centric achievements to “go-live” is most critical. Manufacturers typically assist in a project driven timeline, which allows for key tasks during the implementation process to not be overlooked. A project team of key leaders in the pharmacy with ongoing meetings is also critical for accountability, to ensure that all tasks are handled, and that any hurdles are actively being managed and eliminated.

The value of metrics and key performance indicators are something that we embrace with great passion. In doing so, we always revert back to the ROI. We continue to examine and measure:

Q. When should you consider automation?

Miriam is a member of the Advisory Board for CAPSA Healthcare, has done extensive work with SoftWriters for development, testing, and legal advisement for new product development, and implemented the first successful transition to perpetual inventory for Framework LTC. She continues to give back by precepting and mentoring pharmacy students by providing them with exposure to this vital segment of pharmacy.

• The percentage of total prescriptions produced by automation.

Miriam received her doctorate of pharmacy from Midwestern University and has 15 years of pharmacy experience both in the retail and LTC space. She joined the MAC Rx team in 2015 and assumed the pharmacist in charge role in October of 2015. Since that time, the pharmacy has tripled in size due in large part to her keen sense of pharmacy operations along with her ability to build strong vendor and client relationships. Miriam currently oversees pharmacy operations in over 160 LTC communities. She is recognized as an LTC subject matter expert and is a highly sought-after speaker at national conventions such as the IQ Conference for Red Sail Technologies, MHA, and SoftWriters.

Miriam Cho, PharmD, President/CPO, MAC Rx

Q. How efficient are automated devices in the pharmacy when compared to pharmacy technicians? Depending on the throughput of the automation, a wide range of efficiency can be gained when comparing output of the automation to technicians. It would be recommended to refer back to the drill down details of the ROI, as packaging type, speed of the robot, etc., may all play a factor in efficiency.

As an example, one large robot we are purchasing would have an output of 26 technicians over a month period while simultaneously reducing potential error percentage.

Q. How often does technology change where automation would become outdated? Typically, we believe and plan that automation we purchase will have a useful life of seven to 10 years maximum.

FALL 2022 I RETAIL/COMMUNITY • SPECIALTY • LTC 49 TECHNOLOGYROBOTICS&AUTOMATIONPHARMACY Q&A

Q. What is the verification process like when dealing with pharmacy automation?

There are many regulatory compliance considerations here, but suffice to say that many efficiencies may be gained with automation to reduce human intervention therefore gaining the efficiencies set forth in the ROI. Although the actual verification process may remain the same post installation of automation, the ability to implement and utilize a technician product verification program can provide a positive impact to your ROI. Having said this, it is absolutely critical to understand your individual State Board of Pharmacy rules and regulations prior to making this process change. Automation based on the ROI metrics should always increase efficiency of both the fulfillment technician and staff pharmacist roles in the verification process.

Q. What is the error rate of this technology compared to regular human error in the pharmacy? With most automation that we have utilized, error rates are greatly reduced when comparing automation to human error. It really depends on the automation, but with the right automation partner, accuracy can substantially be increased when deploying automation in your pharmacy. Automation also shows up on time and does not have days off, unless of course there are maintenance issues.

Q. Are maintenance plans worth the additional cost? It is our belief that maintenance and service plans are critical to automation success. There is no substitute to having 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year coverage when the machine unexpectedly fails, not to mention ongoing, regular maintenance is a must. Inevitably, all equipment will eventually have a breakdown or issue due to wear and tear. It is for this reason, we require service plans to have emergency assistance available from the manufacturer with stat timelines of two to four hour service, and also work with the manufacturer to ensure parts are easily accessible by their technicians either in our city or the region. Downtimes can become problematic, so ensuring stat services and maintenance on the front end of the purchase is of the utmost importance.

Product Overview ACC is pleased to offer Pyrosate®, an FDA licensed version of our rapid endotoxin detection kit. Pyrosate is well-suited for performing endotoxin assays in full compliance with the Bacterial Endotoxins Test, USP chapter <85>. Pyrosate has been developed as an easy-to-use Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) gel-clot test that enables rapid testing and does not require special laboratory supplies. The easy-to-follow, step-by-step illustrated instructions allow the user to set up assays within minutes.

Reconstitution Pyrosate® is reconstituted directly with the sample by adding 0.5 mL to the sample tube (SPL). After approximately 60 seconds of gentle mixing, 0.25 mL is transferred to the endotoxin tube (PPC). The lot-specific incubation time at 37±1°C is given on the Certificate of Compliance. Stability Pyrosate® is stable at room temperature and does not require refrigeration for shipping or storage.

Pyrosate® has been developed as an easy-to-use Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) gel-clot test that enables rapid testing and does not require special laboratory supplies. The Pyrosate Kit provides rapid results and is especially convenient for research, testing water, and dialysate. g the of to the We are certified to I.S. EN ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 13485:2016, our laboratories are FDA inspected and DEA licensed, and our Beacon Diagnostics® laboratory is CLIA certified.

The Pyrosate® Kit is a rapid gel-clot test that contains a 2λ* endotoxin tube (PPC) matched to the sample (SPL) tube for each sensitivity. This feature is unique to the Pyrosate assay. The endotoxin tube (PPC) assures that the sample does not interfere with the test, ruling out false negatives. Pyrosate is formulated to eliminate false positives due to (1g3)-ß-D-glucans. This endotoxin specific reagent does not require additional blocking buffers.

The Pyrosate® Kit is available in sensitivities of 0.03 EU/mL, 0.125 EU/mL, and 0.25 EU/mL, in both 10-pack and 30-pack formats. In addition to research and water testing, Pyrosate® is ideal for dialysis centers, compounding pharmacies, and pharmaceutical and medical device companies.

More Product Facings ... More Profit! It’s That Simple Uniweb products, made in America for 50 years, ranges from general merchandise store fixtures to versatile RX work counters and complete rooms.

This allows for greater utilization of the display surface and broader flexibility in merchandise placement. Product facings are increased by a minimum of 17% and in some cases, up to 50%! This extreme capitalization on space results in greater profits for retailers.

n But, how easy is this product to install and merchandise? Will the store be disrupted?

n Can Uniweb manufacture a product that will give a store a facelift, while increasing product facings, using the same footprint and existing fixtures? Yes! More importantly, the panels will never rip or tear!

The basic premise of Uniweb’s philosophy is that retailers can make better use of their existing space by re-imagining their approach to fixturing and employing Uniweb, a more profitable high-density fixture.

• The Allied Panel features a short insert hook welded directly to the panel, eliminating the need for insert brackets. Panels easily lock onto existing uprights, creating a clean, flush appearance. The panel can also be extended beyond the gondola height, creating additional merchandising space.

• To Use: Hooks fit in without tilting and slide horizontally, allowing merchandising directly under shelves or flexibility in adjusting product without disturbing products.

The ultimate beauty of Uniweb’s craftsmanship … as your needs change, so can your space! Given that Uniweb is a custom manufacturer; they are not limited to “fixed” boxes or components. This allows for every square foot of space to be fully utilized!

• Insert Panels replace old, torn, and inefficient pegboard panels. Simply remove pegboard and inset snugly into existing store uprights, permitting the use of existing shelving.
