Beverly Hospital is a not-for-profit, leading and independent 224-bed
acute care facility that is proud of the medical services and comfort provided
to patients. From emergency room and hospitalization to outpatient procedures,
Beverly Hospital offers a full range of services with the latest technology;
including the pharmacy.
Beverly Hospital, like other small to midsize hospitals in the United
States, processes about 2000 prescription orders per day. About 250 of those orders or prescriptions
require instructional color labels such as “Look-alike
Sound Alike”, “For Oral Use Only”,
“Protect From Light”, and “Shake Well and Keep In Refrigerator”. Wayne Campbell, Director of Pharmacy of
Beverly Hospital says, “we get these auxiliary labels from 4 different label
manufacturers. Sometimes we’d get them in a timely fashion; sometimes we don’t. We don’t know who ordered what from whom or
when it’s coming in. It’s very
challenging”.
To
improve this situation, Beverly Hospital deployed the ClariSafe Color Label Solution
from Addmaster, https://www.addmaster.com/product/clarisafe/, with partners HP, and Neenah Paper.
Addmaster has over 30 years of experience developing and manufacturing inkjet
printers for the financial market with over 300,000 printers installed
worldwide. John Clary, VP of Engineering at Addmaster, decided to develop
an inkjet color printer with a small footprint and software that mimics
pharmacy personnel ordering from a catalog to print the color labels they
need when they need them.

“ClariSafe™ can print all of my labels on-demand, any time I need
them. It prevents overstocking. It prevents us from running out of labels and
enables us to make special labels that are not available on the market” says Wayne.

According to Alex Shafer, Director of Business Development for
Addmaster, “The ClariSafe Color Label System costs $1,495 and includes both the
printer and application to print durable color labels when needed. Plus we’ve added and will continue to add labels in
the catalog as hospitals want and need more secondary artwork to print.”

you may remember, I’ve written about ClariSafe before: https://colorlabelsondemand.blogspot.com/2016/11/new-option-for-pharmacyanesthesia-labels.html

For
pharmacy managers, ClariSafe is a great option to simplify secondary/auxiliary labeling. This
system eliminates purchasing a large inventory of labels, enabling you to print
what you need, when you need them; with a very small footprint device. Contact us if the ClariSafe Color Label
Systems may fit your pharmacy operation.
