Abstract

Although Pharmacy automation dates back to the 1970's, with the introduction of pill counting machines, the pharmacy automation market is anticipated to make generous strides in technology and efficiency in the coming years. The continually increasing demand for accuracy, safety, industry standards, and competency in the pharmacy environment by regulatory authorities, manufacturers, health care professionals, and consumers have forced the growth of this market. Within the U.S. Market for pharmacy automation two general market segments are discussed including Inpatient automation systems and outpatient automation systems. Each section will include a brief overview of the market segment; description of product and technology; research and development; market size and forecast; and competitor structure and market share. In addition to detailed product and market information, the pharmacy automation market is and will continue to experience a whirlwind of issues and trends that affect the course of the market. Some of these include the national pharmacist shortage, medication error reduction, and cost effectiveness of technology in the pharmacy. Profiles are included for significant manufacturers and suppliers of pharmacy automation technology and equipment. Forecast will be provided through 2008.
