Automated Dispensing Machines


✓ -:- A decentralized medication storage device from which nursing staff

can retrieve medications for patients from point of care af ter they have

been reviewed by the pharmacist. It is composed of cabinets of various

sizes that contain drawers and compartments for different medications.

They contain varying degrees of security(passwords, physical locks) based

on the requirements of the facility and the nature of the medication, such

as controlled substances. The advantages are:

The items available depend on the individual's level of access.
