JFCRx™ Introduces North America’s Only Automated, Image-Verified Pill Sortation System

BRISTOL, Wis.: High volumes of unused medications in long-term care (LTC), assisted living, skilled nursing, correctional, and other institutional care settings account for significant annual disposal costs and inventory losses for dispensing pharmacies. Pharmacy automation solutions provider JFCRx™ is bringing to market a new way for pharmacies to reclaim packaged but unused medications: TruSort™, the only automated, image-verified pill sortation device available in North America.

Medications in multi-dose blister cards or adherence pouch packaging often go unused due to patient discharge or demise, condition resolution, adverse reactions, or regimen modifications. The ability to accurately sort, identify and package these medications for inventory return is a boon for pharmacies’ bottom lines.

“Anyone who does compliance packaging will benefit from TruSort,” said Duane Chudy, Chairman of JFCRx. “It’s a game changer in terms of inventory management and recapturing inventory costs. As pharmacies look for new ways to generate revenue amid shrinking reimbursements, TruSort is an easy to implement solution that puts institutional pharmacies on a fast track to better profits.”

The pharmacy market is attempting to find ways to be more profitable while it must achieve two seemingly conflicting goals: find quality staff while also lowering labor costs. TruSort’s AI-enabled automation technology can do both since it requires virtually no additional labor to run. Users simply open the adherence pouches or blister cards, pour the contents into TruSort’s sorting bin, and then push start. Each pill is photographed and checked by an AI-equipped identification mechanism using 360-degree inspection of inscriptions or markings, shapes, outer dimensions, and color. The device then auto-packages and labels identified medications so they can easily be put back into inventory, whether that be into bulk storage or into a canister for automated packaging.

The typical pharmacy today is either manually reclaiming eligible high-dollar medications or simply destroying potentially viable medications and incurring costly disposal fees. TruSort gives pharmacies the ability to recapture eligible medications without cumbersome manual labor.

No matter if the adherence packaged medications are high-value or high-volume, TruSort is a solution that helps pharmacies protect margins and add to their bottom lines. Learn more at https://jfcrx.com/products/trusort-tablet-sorting
