Carsten Schade Larsen, consultant:

‘The medical practitioners here have been using the Columna Medication module for our prescriptions for some years now, which has forced us to be careful when entering the data – everything has to be absolutely clear. An even more disciplined approach is required now that the module has been connected up to the robot drug dispenser, and this automatically makes the process safer. And as a ‘fringe benefit’ from the introduction of the robot we get significant savings on medication costs. The system helps us prescribe products from the robot’s standard range, which are usually the cheapest versions of the respective drugs.’
