The Medi-Dose® Group, known for its innovative solid and liquid oral unit dose packaging systems, has always had deep roots---family roots. This is not surprising since Medi-Dose began as a small family business. Medi-Dose was founded in 1971 when Milton Braverman, a former pharmaceutical company Territory Manager, formed his own company.

While developing Medi-Dose, we were often asked for other products. "Hey...why don't you have...?" "Yo, I need... Can you get it for me?" So, we started EPS® , Inc. We were asked about liquid packaging to complement our solid oral systems. So, we developed TampAlerT®. We were asked about IV preparation. So we developed a line of IV additive disposable accessories. Filters? Yes! Tapes & Labels? Done! Trays, totes and bins? You got it! Bags? Absolutely! And that is how the EPS product line grew to what it is today.

Complete Barcoding Solutions to Enable BPOC

AutoMed® FastPakâ„¢ oral solid packaging and bar coding systems package medications in both unit dose and multi-dose formats. FastPak’s compliance packaging enhances tracking and reduces manual picking, thereby reducing the potential for errors. Instruments range from the economical FastPak Tabletop to the revolutionary FastPak EXP for mid- to large-formulary pharmacies.

On the nursing floors, barcoding is maximized by MedSelect® automated dispensing cabinets. MedSelect cabinets store pharmaceutical and medical products by barcode and track cabinet inventory, usage by patient, usage by provider, and other critical data. MedSelect ensures medications are scanned at restock and dispense. This step ensures the correct medication was removed from the compartment. Because doses are removed individually, the ability to catch a mis-stocked medication increases dramatically.

Combined, the solutions from the AmerisourceBergen Technology Group facilitate inventory management systems to control costs. Improved inventory control can only be achieved if all medications can be tracked through an entire hospital. Barcoding is typically required to effectively utilize any inventory management system such as Dimension21®.

The AmerisourceBergen Technology Group offers the pharmacy industry's most flexible, most comprehensive approaches to enhance medication safety and improve efficiency through barcoding.
