Healthcare Information Management: Pharmacy Storage Solutions

A vital area in any healthcare facility is the pharmacy.  It is essential that this department be well stocked at all times to promptly fill any medication requirements.  This department contains multi-sized items from packets and cases of pills, various size bottles and containers to intravenous supplies and prescription forms…all demanding a storage system with flexibility.  The trend toward unit dose packaging requires even greater shelf space.  In addition to the standard pharmaceuticals required, new medications are continually being ordered as they appear on the market, therefore, space must be allocated for the storage of these items.

The activity level in this area is extremely high.  Nurses fill their supply carts with daily patient medications.  Orders are placed every day to re-stock the supplies while new supply deliveries arrive three to four times a day.  Consequently, the staff needs total accessibility and ease of retrieval with this ongoing inventory. Montels Pharmastack storage system, featuring up-front-end shelf units, is perfect for storing "fast movers" in this fast-paced environment, keeping active stock up front and within easy reach.
