UnitBox in Polish Hospitals — Modern Medication Logistics in Practice
Efficient medication management is one of the key factors determining patient safety and smooth hospital operations. In many Polish hospitals, this process is still largely manual, which increases the risk of errors, delays, and unnecessary costs.
According to research published in BMJ Open Quality, implementing automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs) significantly reduces medication dispensing and administration errors and improves compliance with safety protocols (Trivedi et al., 2022).
That’s why more and more healthcare facilities are choosing to implement advanced, automated solutions to improve their daily medication logistics. One of them is UnitBox — a comprehensive Automated Dispensing Cabinet (ADC) system that streamlines the medication workflow, strengthens inventory control, and supports medical staff in safe and accurate drug administration.
Take the first step — we are ready to support you.
Real Implementations in Polish Hospitals
The UnitBox team is currently implementing full-scale ADC systems in several hospitals across Poland, including Bełchatów Hospital and the 105th Military Hospital in Żary.
Each implementation goes beyond the installation of hardware: it involves adapting medication logistics to the hospital’s real operational needs.
Hospitals across Poland face similar challenges:
- ensuring continuous medication availability,
- manual record-keeping and documentation errors,
- waste caused by expired stock,
- limited control over access to controlled substances,
- insufficient integration with pharmacy and EHR systems.
Studies indicate that in many Polish hospitals, manual medication inventory management and lack of integration with IT systems increase the risk of drug shortages and documentation errors by 25–30% (Vogler et al., 2021; Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice).
How Does UnitBox Help?
The UnitBox system is designed to address these challenges comprehensively:
- Automated medication workflow → ADCs on wards enable quick, safe dispensing, returns, and replenishments without manual entry.
- Full access control and audit trail → every action is recorded, improving accountability and transparency.
- Real-time inventory monitoring → UnitBox tracks stock levels and expiry dates, supporting pharmacists in planning replenishments.
- Seamless system integration → the solution connects with hospital pharmacy software and EHR systems, eliminating data duplication and inconsistencies.
- Support for staff → with an intuitive interface, the system is easy to use and significantly reduces time spent on logistics tasks.
A Step Toward the Modern Hospital
Implementing solutions like UnitBox is not just an investment in technology. It’s an investment in patient safety, staff efficiency, and smarter hospital operations.
Early deployments show that well-planned automation in medication logistics relieves staff workload, enhances accuracy, and helps hospitals make better use of their resources.
By combining pharmaceutical expertise, IT technology, and a deep understanding of hospital workflows, UnitBox helps Polish healthcare facilities take a decisive step into the era of intelligent medication management.
