But the news 4 iteam is going to show you how these machines can multiple one mistake in to dozens. This is the executive director of the National Association of boards of pharmacy and said, more and more large chains are usiing pharmacy robots. It moves in this sales video from a prominent robot maker, you see how a technician types a prescription in the computer and the arm pulls pills from a cell, and puts it in a bottle and labels it. They can help with dispensing and from what we have heard of the error rate, its signific t significantly lower if you have technicians or pharmacists filling the prescriptions. The medical watch dog public citizens said there was at least two weapon respected stud tieie that show it cuts down on errors but only if they are loaded properly. A human being has to fill the machine with various kinds medicines and they could make a mistake. If they make a mistake, even the machine dispenses what is told to, so to speak, it may have been told to do the wrong hingehinge wrong things. He worked in a National Chain that used this type of robot, when was installed, he said that his company upped the number of prescriptions that his store was expected to fill to as many as 900 a day. Forcing his staff to rush. You get cheated. Lets fill that, run over and get the bottle from the stock area, put the bottle in there. But then it happened. An employee put 250 milligrams of a prescription already loaded with 500 milligram pills. We were dispensing the 250 with the 500. Not a big deal if you think, but if the patient is sick and didnt get well and needed to see the doctor again or needed another prescription, it becomes a problem. Some mistakes involve doses and others mixing up different drugs. In new jersey, the attorney general found that a machine gave 50 children a Breast Cancer drug. His company put in place a new system aimed at preventing robot mistakes. He said you may never know you got the wrong medicine because the pharmacy may not catch the mistake if a robot is involved.
