What are the Challenges Associated with Automated Medication Dispensers?
While AMDs offer numerous advantages, there are also challenges to consider:
Initial Cost: The upfront investment for acquiring and setting up automated systems can be significant. Technical Issues: Devices can malfunction or require maintenance, which may disrupt the medication administration process. Training Requirements: Staff must be adequately trained to use AMDs effectively, which can involve a learning curve and additional training costs. Integration with Existing Systems: Ensuring that AMDs are compatible with existing Healthcare Information Systems can be challenging.
