Product Overview 

Pharmacy 4.0 is a vision and a concept, not a product. It is an approach to addressing the changing trends in pharmacy and the challenges those trends present. At ARxIUM, we believe that from its inception, pharmacy has been evolving to accommodate rising medication demands, increased safety awareness, greater needs for efficiency, and demands of regulatory agencies. The first evolution of pharmacy was moving to a clinical role, where pharmacy became a more significant part of the patient care cycle. The second evolution was central production, where economies of scale, quality assurance, and reactive planning were prevalent. Finally, the third evolution was the introduction of automation for increased quality control, demand-based planning, and to free-up more resources for clinical activities. Throughout these evolutions, pharmacy has been asked more and more to reduce delivery time, staff time, errors, and cost. In response to these challenges, pharmacies are centralizing, consolidating, and making more manufacturing and industry-like advances to further evolve. "The question is what will the next evolution look like?" The state of pharmacy today drove ARxIUM to look at how industry has evolved to see if there was anything we could glean that would help pharmacy address these challenges. What we found is that industry has evolved in much the same way, converging on automation to meet rising demands for quality, output, efficiency, etc. However, industry has taken it a step further. They are now finding ways to connect all these pieces to achieve true interoperability and data-driven decision making across the entire system, whether manual or automated. They call it Industry 4.0 … the 4th evolution of industry. Pharmacy is not there ... yet. We believe if we apply the same concepts that industry has applied in their fourth evolution, we will yield the same benefits: smarter decision making, higher output and quality, lower costs, less waste, better use of resources, and flexible production. This is what inspired us to develop our Pharmacy 4.0 vision, utilizing our unique blend of pharmacy and manufacturing experience, as well as the interoperable foundation of our solutions to lead pharmacy partners through this next evolution. www.arxium.com/index.php/arxium-launches-pharmacy-4-0-to-meetgrowing-demands-of-patient-care-and-medication-delivery
