DispensIT


About

Vivitech’s Dispens-IT software is designed for use within dispensing GP surgeries.

Its primary function is to help eliminate human error in the dispensary by making use of the barcodes that now appear on almost every item.

It is in use at an ever-growing number of satisfied dispensing practices across the UK.



How it Works

Quite simply, Dispens-IT intercepts and stores the details of each prescribed item as it is output from the surgery’s clinical system and withholds the printing of the item label until dispensary staff have scanned the barcode of the item. If the barcode matches the item’s description, the label is printed normally. If it does not, a warning message prompts the user to investigate.

Introducing this simple extra step in the dispensing process typically takes only a second or two per item, yet can save hours of time in manual second checking. In addition, a complete historical log of all dispensed items is maintained, including the scanned barcodes, and this history may be easily queried and printed using familiar PC-based tools. 

By interfacing only at the labels level, Dispens-IT can be used with all the popular GP clinical data systems.

The barcode database is populated during the initial period of use within each individual surgery and maintained as part of normal operation. There are no expensive subscriptions to database providers and no lengthy update procedures to endure.
