December 6, 2021 – Pittsburgh, PA – The recent labor shortage is challenging many industries. Pharmacy is no exception. Grane Rx–the leading provider of pharmacy care and medication management services for seniors–is staying ahead of the current labor deficit by investing in the latest automated technologies for pharmacy. This move helps ensure uninterrupted pharmacy services.

Grane Rx’s new autonomous system can accurately fill, seal and custom label up to 15,000 blister prescription cards a month. This is equivalent to three full-time pharmacy technicians. By enhancing its automation, Grane Rx is alleviating workload burden for its pharmacy staff and streamlining workflows.

“Grane Rx is a people-first organization. We prioritize the health and satisfaction of our dedicated team members because we know that the work we perform in the pharmacy directly impacts the lives we’re privileged to serve,” said Rowland. 

Leading Pharmacy Accuracy Rates

Grane Rx has an industry leading accuracy rate of 99.96%. Through the use of artificial intelligence, infrared scanning and imaging of every package and a rigorous 12-point safety check before medications ship, Grane Rx leverages technology to provide the highest standard of pharmacy care and services.

“Innovation is the backbone of Grane Rx and has been since we began providing senior pharmacy care more than 25 years ago. Our commitment to leveraging technology for the benefit of our customers and the health of their constituents has and continues to keep Grane Rx at the forefront of the industry,” shared Grane Rx COO Bob Rowland.

Administration of a consistent prescription regimen is critical to the wellbeing of the elderly. Grane Rx helps PACE, Skilled Nursing Facilities and other long term care organizations ensure that the pharmacy needs of their constituents are met without exception, pandemic or labor shortage notwithstanding.
