Your Automated In-House Pharmacy AP PassPort™ is a fully automated, remotely monitored medication dispensing center located in your facility.
The AP PassPort™ pharmacy platform is designed to provide skilled and sub-acute facility managers a reliable, secure, fully supported medication management and disbursement capability. Incorporating innovative engineering and advanced software, AP PassPort™ enables nusing staff to spend less time on administration and compliance issues, and more time on the most important job: giving personal attention to the residents under their care. Medications are dispensed in unit dose, by resident, by med pass, reducing the cost of returning unused meds AP PassPort™ holds bulk quantities of more than 170 frequently prescribed oral meds in a secure environment. AP PassPort’s inventory increases the percentage of meds dispensed on site rather than delivered hours later by a pharmacy The AP pharmacy team constantly monitors AP PassPort’s bulk inventory, and automatically refills as necessary Special medications and non-oral solids not dispensed on site are delivered from the AP pharmacy All prescriptions and dispensing are administered by Advanced Pharmacy registered pharmacists

“The PassPort gives our nurses an extra measure of confidence that the meds we administer will be exactly right, every time.”
AP PassPort™ automatically dispenses time-pass specific, resident specific, multi-fill Med Envelopes, clearly printed with resident’s name, room number and all medications within. The Med Envelopes have clear view windows for maximum accuracy, and an easy to open, tamper-evident crimp seal.
Med Envelopes are automatically packaged by PassPort in room number, wing specific Med Totes for fast, easy administration—no shuffling through hundreds of bingo cards or tearing hard-to-open unit-dose packages.
