As a pharmacist, your #1 goal is to improve patient health. The key to improving the health of your patients, while improving the health of your bottom line, is improving patient adherence. Better adherence means more refills. Pharmacy owner Nilesh Patolia explains.
The RapidPakRx definitely increases adherence because now that they are on a schedule, the patients know when they are running out, we know when they re running out so we can manage their refills, we can work with their doctors so they are picking up the medications, you know, 12 times a year versus before, it may just be eight or nine times a year.

“With the RapidPakRx, now everything's a lot less paper, a lot less headache, a lot less frustration. And so we've definitely increased our efficiency and proficiency to getting scripts out the door. We do spend a lot less time on pharmacist time and technician time to do this. And the nice thing too about the RapidPakRx with it all being all-in-one, you've got that picture that it automatically takes so that you can look at the strips right then and there on the spot. Beforehand, it was a separate machine altogether so you had extra cost that way. This is all-in-one and it just flows a lot better. So we calculate it over time. The estimated cost per patient was probably with our previous machine, $11 to $12 more expensive to dispense because of the time involved versus the RapidPakRx, which is maybe $1.25. So it'd be just almost the equivalent of putting regular pills into a bottle and labeling that bottle and getting it out the door."
