BALTIMORE, March 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Remedi
SeniorCare®, which is among the nation’s largest independent
institutional pharmacies, is revolutionizing the long-term care
(LTC) pharmacy industry with the Paxit™ med-pass system, its
24-hour unit dose medication administration system enabled by fully
automated centralized proprietary dispensing technology. Remedi is
continuing to expand its existing operations in Maryland and the
Washington, D.C. area, where its robotic systems have
industrialized medication administration, transforming the way
personnel in skilled care facilities manage and deliver medications
to their residents. The company is planning further deployment of
the innovative Paxit systems in Virginia, Michigan and Ohio later
in 2011.
Paxit delivers a 24-hour unit-dose cycle of individually
blistered medications in compliance packaging, making it the
industry’s most accurate medication administration system,
dramatically reducing errors and medication waste while increasing
nurse efficiency up to 30 percent. In addition, Paxit users can
save 7 to 15 percent on overall medication costs, significantly
improving the operating efficiencies within the LTC market. Since
its launch in August 2009, Paxit has dispensed more than 12 million
doses in 4 million Paxit bags. Currently, the system services more
than 5,000 residents in Maryland, Delaware, DC and Northern
Virginia.
“The long-term care pharmacy industry has been devoid of
significant innovation for decades,” said Michael Bronfein, CEO of
Remedi SeniorCare. “As part of Remedi’s commitment to enabling its
customers’ success, we have made the significant investment to
develop this groundbreaking system, which we believe defines the
new standard in medication accuracy, unparalleled patient safety
and cost savings. Paxit is an industry game-changer and the answer
to improving nursing satisfaction and efficiency and reducing
medication costs throughout the entire system.”
