Healthcare facilities focus on improving patient safety by preventing medication overdose, enhancing the quality of treatment, and decreasing the readmission rate. Pharmacists have been exploring various strategies and technologies to improve patient safety and reduce overall costs. Hence, there is a need for new technologies or practices to improve the efficiency of drug dispensing and maintain appropriate records.

Pharmacy automation, an automated drug handling and distributing process, improves the workflow by preventing manual errors. Automated pharmacy systems perform tasks such as counting of medications, mixing and measuring liquids and powders for compounding, maintaining a database on patients, and managing inventory. With the help of centralized pharmacies, pharmaceutical wholesalers can provide products and services to hospitals and retail pharmacies. Centralize pharmacies help minimize human error, increase productivity, reduce medication inventory costs, and increase patient safety. In addition, they enhance the operational capacity without the need to hire and train new staff members.

The analysts forecast the out-patient pharmacy automation devices market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 4.29% over the period 2014-2019.
