In an article published by LTC News, SpecialtyRx Founder Joel Zupnick shares how robotics and automation can support medication safety in nursing homes and other long-term care settings.

Drawing on our experience at SpecialtyRx, Joel explores how automated dispensing, robotic sorting systems such as tSort, and delivery tracking help reduce manual handling and improve visibility as prescriptions move through the pharmacy.

The article emphasizes the people behind the technology. By reducing repetitive tasks, automation can give pharmacy teams more time to investigate discrepancies, manage complex orders, and respond to facility questions. Pharmacist oversight and clinical judgment remain essential throughout the process.

For residents and care teams, the goal is dependable pharmacy service: medications prepared accurately, tracked through fulfillment, and delivered when needed.
