Most Frequently Counted prescriptions reports

Most cost comparisons start with the manual counting tray as the standard technique.  This is certainly the least expensive technique in terms of the capital equipment involved.  It is also probably the least desirable technique from both the pharmacy and the pharmacist’s point of view.  The pharmacy would like to see the counting accuracy go up, and the cost of filling a script go down.  The pharmacy would like to see transactional integrity improved through the use of better technology (things like barcode based transaction verification).  The pharmacist would like to be relieved of the tedious and fatiguing job of manual counting.  The pharmacist wants transactional integrity improved without added complexity.
