CountAssist is a compact cabinet-based counting solution designed for retail pharmacies. It automates up to 35% of countable oral solid prescriptions, incorportates stock bottle barcode scanning for traceability, and frees up staff time for patient care. 

CountAssist is built with a small footprint, designed to fit against a wall, end of a bay or in-line with exisiting cabinets. Its space-saving design makes is easy to integrate into pharmacies of all sizes without major layout changes. 

CountAssist™ includes Rx-label barcode scanning to ensure the right medication goes into the right vial for the right patient. Dedicated locked chutes prevent cross-contamination, while secure canister doors help limit access to high-risk or narcotic medications, supporting compliance and patient safety.

One CountAssist cabinet can automate up to 35% of the countable oral-solid prescription volumes in a retail pharmacy setting, helping reduce and improve efficiency.

CountAssist features a compact, one-sided cabinet design that fits easily into varied dispensary configurations. It integrates seamlessly with pharmacy information systems and scales with your business. Additional cabinets can be connected to the same controller as prescription volumes grow.

CountAssist helps reduce manual counting labor hours, improve prescription throughput, and decrease error risk leading to less waste and fewer corrections. By freeing pharmacists for higher-value tasks like patient counseling, these efficiencies can offset the initial capital investment.

Compared to high-volume, dual-arm robotic systems, CountAssist offers a lower-cost, smaller-footprint solution that targets up to 35% of countable prescriptions rather than full automation. It’s designed to augment manual workflows for high-impact segments delivering efficiency without the complexity of full-scale robotics.

To integrate CountAssist, pharmacies should ensure adequate wall or floor space for the cabinet, reliable power supply, and network connectivity to interface with pharmacy systems. Workflow support for canister replenishment and scanning processes, along with staff training, will help maximize efficiency and accuracy.

One pharmacist-owner shared: “Since installing CountAssist, we added two cabinets. Now our counts are more accurate, and our efficiency has improved thanks to the system’s reliability.”

When investing in CountAssist™, consider vendor support for uptime, software updates, canister replenishment logistics, workflow integration, and ongoing maintenance. These factors play a key role in total cost of ownership and long-term ROI.
