Barcodes out, RFID in: How one pharmacy team saved 130+ hours annually
Manual barcode scanning is prone to missed steps, scan failures and inconsistent replenishment. For pharmacy teams managing hundreds of trays, the inefficiencies add up, draining valuable working hours and compromising safety.
That was the case at Pasadena, Calif.-based Huntington Health. With more than 250 trays in circulation, the barcode process became too error-prone and labor-intensive to sustain. So the health system's pharmacy team transitioned to RFID-based automation — and saw dramatic improvements.
In this time-motion study, Huntington Health cut restocking time by 70%, standardized workflows and reclaimed more than 130 hours of staff time annually.
