This request is for a ScriptPro robotic prescription dispensing system, which is currently onsite, fully installed and operational, and being utilized by Pharmacy staff.  ScriptPro provides a necessary patient safety factor to improve pharmacy processes, by using barcode technology to assure that the proper medication is used to fill a prescription. Further, it improves patient education by printing the correct information on prescription bottles.

Additionally, the software provides an inventory management system that allows Ute Mountain Ute Health Center to stock inventory more accurately.
