AHP Products and Services Support the Critical Needs of Pharmacy
Patient safety is a critical issue for health systems. As a result, many health systems seek bar coded products to dispense to patients. Bar coded products used in conjunction with bar code medication administration (BCMA) systems, automate the “five rights.” American Health Packaging supports this health systems’ priority with its growing line of pre-packaged unit dose products.
Purchasing pre-packaged unit dose benefits the hospital in other ways too. It allows the hospital to avoid expensive capital equipment and additional staff associated with in-house packaging tasks. It also decreases liability risks associated with errors in packaging. AHP operates in a cGMP compliant facility which ensures that the product’s lot number, NDC and expiration date are recorded correctly and legibly.
Our line of unit dose products has grown substantially in the past two years. We now feature nearly 300 SKUs across all of the major therapeutic classes. Many of our products are industry exclusives - available only through AHP. These "difficult-to-find" products are popular with hospital wishing to minimize in-house packaging tasks.
To fully support bedside scanning automation, our products are bar coded to the dose level. And, as an added safety feature our packages feature color-coded labels with “tall man” lettering to best distinguish them on the pharmacy shelf. We take safety as seriously as our customers do and work to ensure it “Every Step of the Way.”
