The competitive advantage for SynMed® from Synergy Medical involves its automation capabilities. This solution can produce cards for 1,500 patients one full day before the deadline and three days before the patient’s actual start date. Pharmacies have the flexibility in how they tailor the packaging and deliver the product to their customers. There’s a continuum of services that SynMed’s customers receive with its automated packaging that results in efficiency and accuracy.

SynMed is efficient because it’s connected via an interface to the pharmacy’s management system. It manages all the operations from prescription reception to blister-card preparation. By simultaneously analyzing prescriptions for multiple patients, SynMed establishes its work plan according to the selected medications and their position in the machine and places them in the appropriate blisters.

Accuracy stems from integrating scanning and reference points during the several productions and verification stages of blister-card preparation. The system reliability is 99.98% compared to manual production, where one can expect a 5-10 percent error rate.
