Kirby Lester LLC (Lake Forest, IL)

Kirby Lester LLC recently announced the release of KL20n and KL30n (noninterfaced), 2 new products in the company’s popular line of counting and verification systems. The KL20n and the KL30n offer “plug-and-play” technology for pharmacies seeking a simple, affordable way to reduce medication errors without advanced connectivity. The devices are easily upgradeable, which means pharmacies can decide at a later date whether integrating with pharmacy management systems is needed. Both devices count and verify 100% of orders, including oral solids and unitof- use medications. The KL20n and KL30n also enable barcode-checking, fingerprint scan-tracking, onscreen drug images, and inventory recording. They require no complex installation and fit easily on a pharmacy’s countertop.

ScriptPro (Mission, KS)

ScriptPro’s Telepharmacy platform enables a single pharmacist to oversee medication dispensing at multiple remote locations. Currently in use by US Navy pharmacies, the system is seen as a promising solution for areas where access to pharmacy services remains an issue. The dispensing process starts with an inspection camera, which captures images of the original written prescription and the medication to be dispensed. The images are remotely inspected and verified by the pharmacist and become part of the patient’s recorded prescription history. Using a video camera and audio headset, pharmacists provide face-to-face counseling. Pharmacists can also supervise inventory replenishment and operations of satellite pharmacies to maximize resources.
