Hospital Pharmacy Shelving

Benefits of Hospital Pharmacy Shelving

Efficient Rotation of Medications

The sloped hospital pharmacy shelves streamline the rotation of pharmacy stock. In keeping with a FIFO system, pharmacy staff load medication at the back of the shelf and retrieve prescriptions from the front. Staff can load shelves directly from the rear of the shelving unit or by pulling out the shelf from the front.

The sloped shelves slide products toward the front, and the dividers keep each type of medication neatly lined up from oldest to newest. This system ensures that products with the soonest expiration date are distributed first; it also makes it easy to check for expired stock and see when a product needs restocking.

Improved Accuracy

The innovative dispensary shelving systems improve the accuracy of filling prescriptions and dispensing medication at hospital pharmacies. With dividers to organize the shelves, each medication has a proper place. And by labeling the bins, it’s easy for staff to locate the correct medication quickly. The acrylic bin fronts and sliding shelves afford optimal store product visibility and swift access to needed prescriptions.

Increased Storage Capacity

Modern hospital pharmacy shelving increases your storage capacity compared to traditional dispensary shelving or bin storage. Modern shelving is an excellent investment for hospital pharmacies facing overcrowding or limited storage space.

The space-efficient sloped shelves with adjustable dividers allow you to store bottles and boxes of various sizes in custom slots, fitting as many products across a shelf as possible without compromising organization. Compared to the alternative of storing products in standard-sized plastic bins, less space goes wasted, and products remain easy to view, locate, and access.

This pharmacy shelving system can be customized to meet your space requirements. For example, one hospital pharmacy could not fit its existing shelving into their new, smaller location. Storage specialists designed a custom high-density shelving system that increased the hospital pharmacy’s bulk storage capacity and made the space more productive.

Reduced Pharmacy Costs

Innovative hospital pharmacy shelving will improve the efficiency of your pharmacy, reducing costs and provide a good return on investment. By maximizing your medication storage capacity, you may be able to store all of your medication in less space, thus saving money. And the efficient FIFO rotation of medication reduces the wasted expense of expiring medication, further lowering costs. Pharmacy staff will also be able to stock medication and fill prescriptions more quickly and accurately, increasing overall productivity. Visit our online store to see our pharmacy shelving.

Hospital pharmacies play a crucial role in treating patients, and proper pharmacy shelving is key to performing this role as effectively as possible.
