TLDR
By 2024, the global market for pharmacy automation will reach nearly $8 billion. By 2020, 85% of hospital pharmacists reported increased drug shortages due to the pandemic. Automation opportunities currently under consideration include inventory management, pill sorting/counting/packaging, and automated dispensing cabinets. Automated dispensing machines can dole out nearly 6 times the number of medications a pharmacy tech can while costing ⅔ as much as a human on average. Inventory tracking can help hospitals avoid the spoilage laying their equipment to waste today.via the TL;DR App
