Increasing demand for care, a growing staff shortage and the desire to work more efficiently are putting pharmacies under pressure to optimise their processes.
The number of people aged 65 and over will increase significantly in the coming decades, leading to a structural increase in demand for pharmacy services.
Pharmacies are being assigned more tasks in primary care, which further increases the pressure on staff.
Staff shortages in the pharmacy sector are increasing year on year, making workload reduction urgent.
The white paper covers four themes that together provide a complete picture of automation in the Dutch pharmacy market: from market research to technical choices.
How far are Dutch pharmacies with automation, and what are the biggest hurdles? The survey among 58 pharmacists provides a clear picture of four different pharmacy profiles.
From pro-automation (28.6%) to cautious — which profile suits your pharmacy, and what does that mean for your approach? The majority (58.9%) opt for step-by-step automation with proven integrations.
A technical comparison of both systems regarding capacity, costs, flexibility, and suitability for specific situations. Including concrete advice on when to deploy which system.
Which integrations (AIS, track & trace, lockers) are crucial for successful automation?
This whitepaper is the result of a collaboration between two specialists who seamlessly combine hardware and software for pharmacies.
