InstyMeds was founded in pursuit of a singular mission: leveraging technology to dispense prescription medications to patients at the point of care.<\/span>\u00a0 We wanted to make picking up prescriptions 24\/7 so easy that patients would want to choose InstyMeds.\u00a0 Yet we also knew that our technology would not make a difference unless patients and providers were confident that it was safe to use.<\/p>

But what exactly did “safe dispensing” mean?\u00a0 For answers we turned to safety performance of pharmacies.\u00a0<\/p>

A national study of dispensing accuracy, published in 2003, found that 50 community pharmacies in six states had an overall accuracy rate of 98.3%<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>on a sample of 4,481 filled prescriptions.1<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/h5>

Other studies performed over the past 35 years uncovered dispensing error rates in prescription filling operations ranging from 2% to 10%.1<\/sup>\u00a0 The seemingly low 1.7% error rate would have resulted in about 1,028 prescriptions filled with errors a year at a typical community pharmacy based on the average annual dispensing volume of 60,493 prescriptions in 2015.2<\/sup><\/p>

We challenged ourselves to do better than that and came up with a simple definition for safety: dispensing the right drug to the right patient every time!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>

InstyMeds brings the best pharmacy safety practices to point-of-care dispensing by designing safety features into everything we do, from dispenser design to the Patient Service Center operations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
