Pharmacy technology company PerceptiMed has seen its will call technology ScripClip pass a big milestone. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said Thursday that the technology, launched last year, has safely processed more than 1 million prescriptions as it expands its reach through the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
"Our ScripClip product provides pharmacies with a customer-facing solution for faster prescription pickups combined with improved safety," PerceptiMed CEO Bob Curry said. "It's the rare pharmacy automation product that pharmacy customers can actually see in operation and tells customers that their pharmacy cares about both service and their safety as a patient. We are proud of reaching this milestone in having fulfilled our millionth prescription."
Pharmacies using the ScripClip system have avoided roughly 1,000 safety incidents, according to a pharmacy saety study, PerceptiMed said. Among the issues the system looks to eliminate are patients receiving the wrong prescriptions or incomplete prescriptions, as well as adverse reactions and HIPAA violations, all of which the company said can be costly and time-consuming.
"ScripClip pharmacies achieve quick ROIs in only six to twelve months of use," PerceptiMed chief business officer Frank Maione said. "The financial savings are a combination of better inventory management through easy to perform return-to-stock protocols, higher customer retention rates and will call labor savings."
