The Neighborly Pharmacy has been selected to beta test a new line of pharmacy automation equipment. The equipment is designed to improve pharmacy productivity, which allows the pharmacist more time to consult with customers.

The automated system, built by QEM, Inc., was designed for:

• prescription medication safety
• easy set-up and use
• the ability to fill more prescriptions per day

The unit is compact and used as a stand-alone system that requires no interfacing with other systems and yet still allows downloadable recordkeeping for reporting purposes.

“We are thrilled to test this cutting-edge technology,” said Dr. Gaston Bedard, Neighborly Pharmacy Director and Pharmacist. “We want to thank the staff of QEM, Inc. for the hard work, dedication, and ongoing support they have given to this project.”

For more information on the QEM Pharmacy Automation systems, call Marci Wilkinson at 727-510-7979.

QEM Pharmacy Automation System is delivered to the Neighborly Pharmacy.

Dr. Gaston Bedard, pharmacist, looks over the equipment as it is brought in.

Dr. Bedard enjoys learning about the new system.
