Swisslog Healthcare Exhibits Medication Dispensing Solutions at 15th Annual MHA Business Summit
With the acquisition of Talyst, Swisslog Healthcare expands its reach across the continuum of care to include in-facility medication packaging and dispensing for long-term care facilities.
DENVER, March 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Talyst, a leader in automated medication management solutions for long-term and post-acute care facilities, will exhibit under new ownership at the MHA Business Summit following its acquisition by Swisslog Healthcare in August 2017.
"Increasingly, we are seeing a decentralization of care, away from the hospital to other care settings," explains Stephan Sonderegger, CEO of Swisslog Healthcare. "This shift, coupled with the aging population, increases the need for greater efficiency through automation in long-term care facilities. Our in-facility packaging and dispensing model is helping LTC pharmacies expand their reach as well increase service levels through greater access to medications."
Market adoption of the in-facility model continues to gain momentum with greater regulatory acceptance. In 2017, Talyst (now Swisslog Healthcare) experienced more than a 30% increase in installations of their InSite® In-facility Medication Packaging and Dispensing System. Today, InSite is deployed in hundreds of long-term care facilities nationwide, servicing thousands of patients and dispensing millions of doses.
"With InSite, the medication dispensing process is automated and accurate," says Huan Nguyen R.Ph., Vice President of Business Development for Swisslog Healthcare's Long-Term Care division. "We partner with a network of forward-thinking pharmacies to help them expand their business, capturing additional short-cycle dispensing fees while significantly reducing pharmacy labor."
MHA members will experience a unique, hands-on experience of the InSite system at Swisslog Healthcare booth #626 at the 15th Annual MHA Business Summit in Las Vegas, March 6-9, 2018. To learn more about Swisslog's long-term care solutions, visit swisslog.com/MHA.
