PHACTS, LLC includes Team members with over 36 years of experience in Pharmacy and Automation systems and responsible for the FIRST Carousels installed into hospital pharmacies with PC software drivers over 19 years ago. PHACTS specializes in Enterprise-wide Inventory Solutions to reduce costs, eliminate waste and increase accuracy while cost transferring every dose dispensed and to post to the GL system. Our Team has collectively installed over 1200 carousels and 300 high speed medication packaging & labeling systems across the USA.

1. Our installations include two types of Customers:
a. Those needing new Inventory Management and Workflow software implementations with new carousels, or as a "software only" solution to be used with static shelving alone, and
b. Those that want new software to use on their existing carousel systems originally sold by other vendors (Talyst, ABC, Omnicell, and McKesson). For these types of "conversion" customers, previous vendor software is no longer used and monthly support fees are greatly reduced.
c. Both of these types of customers may need bar-coding solutions and we offer PharmoPack™ and PharmoCode™ systems.

2. We are considered to be an ideal enterprise-wide solution because our Pharmogistics® Inventory Management Software & Workflow Process Administrator can be installed in any sized hospital pharmacy with or without carousel technology.
a. ALL data from every networked hospital pharmacy can "roll up" to a Corporate View to enable the IDN Pharmacy Team to manage the entire Inventory, Productivity, and Assets, within the healthcare system more efficiently, drive out waste, and to Maximize Market Share Rebates.
b. Pharmacies may also be able to "package share" to eliminate expired medications and open packages that are slow moving items sitting on shelves as non-performing assets.
c. An average of 35% of inventory on hand is reduced within 3 months of installation.

3. We also provide refrigerated carousels to add a higher level of security and accountability when managing the highest priced medications in the pharmacy. And, we enable paperless remote ordering from Satellites and departments with cost centering of every dose to its final destination.

4. Pharmogistics includes the MedRexStat Interface Engine that builds interfaces in minutes. All Hospital CIOs that have seen this Interface Engine in operation have provided their approval to work with PHACTS. The amount of hospital IT resources required to implement our system and interface to other vendors is substantially reduced. Customers have testified that less than 8 hours of hospital IT resources have been required.

5. Our PharmoPack® High Speed Packager is the next generation of automated packager that has corrected all of the "problems" that commonly occurs in other systems. This patented, low maintenance, ISO Certified system is installed in over 165 locations and PHACTS is the exclusive distributor in the USA. And, our PharmoCode™ labeling solution creates and applies color and black & white barcodes to any items that require a readable barcode to enable BPOC - even those that must be stored in the freezer!

Additionally, MPI’s unit-dose packaging solutions are uniquely positioned to assist the long-term care (LTC) and extended care (EC) pharmacy in transitioning to the shorter cycle dispensing model recently mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This mandate, which was announced on November 22, 2010, will require the dispensing of medication in cycles of seven (7) days or less instead of the thirty (30) day model traditionally used in these care settings and will support nation-wide efforts to reduce medication waste.

MPI’s suite of pharmacy packaging solutions include state-of-the-art, affordable packaging systems to meet the bar coding, unit dose, and packaging needs of every type of pharmacy. MPI offers packaging solutions for oral solids, liquids, overwrapping and labeling systems, which are available either on an individual basis, a multi-product basis, or as a total solution dependent on the specific packaging requirements of each pharmacy.

This high quality, affordable bar coding packaging system for oral liquids allows a pharmacy to increase their packaging speed to up to fifteen (15) packages per minute (ppm) and is offered with two (2) filling options, either the Syringe Pump or optional Baxa® pump to provide a single, bar coded liquid unit dose package to the bedside. An automatic low fluid detection feature is built into the machine controls which pauses liquid packaging when fluid level reaches a level preset by the pharmacy technician. Built-in purge feature cancels the bar code label and automatically clears the system for the next packaging job.

For your ancillary packaging needs, MPI offers two (2) types of overwrapping systems, the Auto-Print™ Bagging System and the Auto-Print™ Max Bagger for Robot Ready packaging, and the Pharmacy Accessory Label Printer labeling system to provide any pharmacy with the appropriate packaging or labeling solution for their parenteral medications.
