Fast Moving Sections In Pharmacy

Fast Movers are the drugs which you fill several times in the day eg: medications
like synthroid ,metformin ,Atenolol etc commonly used medications. Many pharmacies
like to arrange these drugs in different section which is easily accessible by
Pharmacy Technician and makes the movement easier and call this sections as their fast moving section. Less steps to walk meaning faster filling.

Here is an opinion

The Pharmacy designs are to be made universal especially in chain stores .As
the turnover of employees is great also if you arrange a fast mover section
it might be different for each locations of a chain store as most stores would
sell at least a few products more than others . Also when there are many Technicians
and pharmacist going from one location to another these sections create difficulty
for these personnel to work efficiently as they have to look for products in 2
different sections .
In general the rule of thumb for any chain drug store is that there departments
when seen from inside should be exactly identical for personnel to function
efficiently
Here the efficient pharmacy takes the side of keeping all stores identical and
not creating a fast mover section
Different rules may apply to independent stores and Hospital pharmacies
this opinion is for chain drug stores having several locations nation wide
or spread across wide areas of states.
