Improve Efficiency & Accuracy When Administering Medication
Our LTC Pharmacy Service helps long-term care facilities be more efficient and accurate when administering medications, giving nurses more time for resident care and reducing the incidence of medication errors.
We use many dispensing systems and will package medications using any method you request to meet the needs of your facility and your residents. Two of our most popular packaging systems are Dispill and onePAC.
Dispill® Single-Dose and Multi-Dose Packaging System
Dispill® prepares a person’s medications in a single-dose and multi-dose, sealed, and detachable package that is custom-labeled with the patient’s picture, name, and medication – including how to take the medication. The perforated blister packs are color-coded to represent morning, noon, evening, and bedtime. The system is available in 7-, 14-, or 28-day cycles. Single dose packaging available on demand, or once monthly changeover.
