There is continuously a need for upgrade of technology in pharmacy and this is to see that the valuable
time a Pharmacy Technician spends in pharmacy is not wasted on tasks which can be easily handled
by machines
Some of efforts the Chain drug stores are making is in filled bottles or blister packs of month
supply of medications which cut down the time in counting and pouring pills.
Some Pharmacies use auto counting machines and various types of robots to help
with this process of filling of prescriptions
we are also looking forward to see some vending machine type concept in prescription
pickup so patients can pickup their prescriptions 24/7 and have pharmacist 800 Number to
call for counsel at all times .
The advent of good versions of speech to text software can help a lot in data entry
ordering of drugs and Inventory management and these functions can significantly cut down
pharmacy technicians work load
There are so many methods now available and I would like my Pharmacy Technician friends
to come forward and discuss them here for benefit of all .
