A non-profit private corporation within the Family Subsidy System and Colombian Social Protection and Security System, offering a range of social services, including healthcare and education, faced several challenges to improve their medication dispensing process and ensure legal compliance. These included enhancing delivery times to meet National Health Superintendent requirements, ensuring proper dispensing practices for correct medication in the right concentration and quantities, improving service quality for patients, preventing overdosing and fraud, optimizing inventory management in pharmacy centers, providing timely attention with a maximum wait time of 10 minutes per patient, and managing a high daily volume of medication dispensing.

For example, overdosing in medication dispensing occurred due to factors like human errors, issues in the dispensing process, and poor communication between the doctor, pharmacist, and patient. Other common causes included calculation errors during medication preparation, misunderstandings from unclear prescriptions or patient instructions, and labeling issues resulting in incorrect dosage information.

Transitioning from manual to automated medicine dispensing brings many benefits to patients, healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical organizations, and medication delivery points. This shift is highly helpful across the board.
