Pharmaceutical inventory needs careful supervision at the clinical and pharmaceutical levels.
Automated dispensing machines in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and community health centers are now playing a key role in ensuring full security and oversight of controlled drugs, narcotics and medications.
An automated dispensing cabinet should have the following security features:
Implement robust authentication processes for all users accessing the system.
Locked drawers to prevent unauthorized access
Utilize single cell dispensing to limit access to specific drugs and dosages.
Investing in automated dispensing cabinet that has built-in security features can prevent drugs diversion.
