Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 6, 2008 -- Swisslog Healthcare Solutions will feature the innovative PillPick® Automated Drug Management System (ADMS) technology at booth #3102 at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition, February 24-28, 2008 in Orlando, FL.
A 100% bar-coded solution, the PillPick system enables point-of-care verification and supports centralized, decentralized, and hybrid pharmacy operations. Using the exclusive PillPick Manager application, the system receives electronic patient orders via the HL7 interface, sorts them by priority, and begins to automatically unload the drugs either from the DrugNest, a high-density robotic warehouse or the BoxPicker, a space-saving, modular storage and dispensing solution. A unique tracking number is assigned to every unit-dose bag in the PillPick system- further assisting the pharmacy with billing accuracy and inventory control. Then a patient-specific, 24 hour supply of drugs is grouped together on Swisslog's patented PickRing. Return crediting is automatic requiring no manual scanning.
The versatile PillPick Manager software allows hospitals to run advanced diagnostics, monitor expiration dates, control access security, in addition to operating all PillPick components. As a result, the pharmacy is fully capable of optimizing the work flow. More importantly, the potential for human error is significantly reduced. Ultimately, hospital pharmacies benefit from a faster turnaround time, increased productivity, and greater patient safety at a lower cost of operation with PillPick.
Swisslog Healthcare Solutions also manufactures the technologically advanced TransLogic Pneumatic Tube System (PTS) and the innovative laser-guided TransCar Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). Swisslog provides a complete hospital supply chain management approach, from total system design and manufacturing, to installation and customer support.

Erectile Dysfunction is a common medical condition and is believed to affect almost 10% of the males but despite the high number of cases, few are reported.

The FDA Only Approves Toxic Medicines!!
Do you take prescriptions?? Did you know that all medicines, both over the counter drugs and prescriptions are FDA approved?? Do you know what it means for a drug to meet FDA approval?? For a drug to be FDA approved, they have to prove that it has an LD-50, or lethal dose half life. Well, what does that mean?? It means that half of the test subjects, such as rats; have to be able to be killed by a large enough dose at any one time. They figure out how large of a dose kills a rat and then they figure the amount that is safe for humans to take. SAFE?? Are you kidding me!! If medicines were safe, then they wouldn't be toxic.

Acne Medicines - Watch the Side Effects
The most important rule for acne sufferers to remember is that you should never pick or squeeze acne blemishes. This can lead to the spread of acne and the development of acne scars. Instead, there are a number of herbal, homeopathic, and traditional formulas that can be used to treat acne and prevent the development of acne scars. Herbs work naturally with the body to reduce acne blemishes and prevent the development of acne scars. Echinacea and poke root are often used for their anti-inflammatory properties and red clover may be beneficial for its estrogenic action. Witch hazel has excellent astringent properties and may be very effective on acne.
