Calabrese will review the implementation of a medication tracking system to identify bottlenecks within a medication distribution system. He will review technology used to improve turnaround times by providing efficient medication distribution and will focus on a decentralized distribution model using automated dispensing cabinets, carousel technology, and delivery tracking by MedBoard.
"MedBoard has allowed us to track our medications from the point a label is printed until it reaches its final delivery location. The system has also saved time for the pharmacists and technicians by identifying the location of missing medications by preventing rework," said Calabrese.
