Most of the skilled nursing facilities served by Green Tree Pharmacy have elected to use the standard 30-day punch card medication packaging option. The DOSIS and OmniCell machines are automated packaging systems we use to fill punch cards with accuracy and efficiency. The high level of technology from these two systems enables the pharmacy to fill hundreds of prescriptions a day that far surpasses the manual filling of cards. This allows the pharmacy to process more prescriptions in a shorter period of time, enhancing our ability to complete orders expeditiously, including those orders received late in the day just before our deliveries are scheduled to go out. This is becoming increasingly more important when hospitals discharge patients later in the day and facilities need to have their mediations on hand when they arrive.
The interface connecting the pharmacy software with the DOSIS and OmniCell also enables the system to print labels and apply them to the cards. This automated process ensures exceptionally standardized, orderly and accurate labeling of the cards.
