Automated Medication Dispensing Cabinets provide computer controlled storage, dispensation, tracking, and documentation of medication distribution on the resident care unit. The products represented here are considered “decentralized” medication distribution systems because they are not located in the facility’s pharmacy, but rather at the point of care on the resident care unit. Tracking of the stocking and distribution process can occur by interfacing the unit with a central pharmacy computer. These cabinets can also be interfaced with other external databases such as resident profiles, the facility’s admission/discharge/transfer system, and billing systems.
