“Efficiency in prescription processing has risen sharply, Speed Filling brings a lot of calm to the pharmacy.”
Diemer Apotheek · Diemen, pharmacist Jerry ter Borgh on central filling with Speed Filling.
Four pharmacies, a daily bulk of repeat prescriptions
Pharmacist Jerry ter Borgh of the Diemer Apotheek has used Speed Filling for repeat medication since May 2020. Notably, the pharmacy also fills repeat medication for the three other locations it forms a partnership with.
“In effect, this is central filling at a local level. Patients of all four pharmacies are registered with us; we prepare the repeat prescriptions, but they collect their medication at the location nearest to them.”
The daily, manual processing of that bulk of repeat prescriptions took a lot of time. Ter Borgh chose Speed Filling because it is FarmaSort’s most automated sorting solution.
“A lot of calm has come to the pharmacy, which lets us focus on other work, such as medication guidance.”
Speed Filling: fully automatic sorting and splitting per pharmacy

Prepare orders
About three weeks before the end date, the team prepares all repeat prescriptions, for all four locations.
Delivery 2×/week
The order arrives twice a week via the wholesaler and is processed on Saturday and one weekday evening.
Sort & split
Speed Filling labels and sorts the packages per patient and by size, and automatically splits the prescriptions out to the right pharmacy.
Reserve & ship
Via track-and-trace the system reserves a spot in the pickup cabinet in advance. Internal transport takes the bins to the right location; the patient gets an e-mail.
Lots of calm, more time for care and no mix-ups
The team barely has any work left on repeat medication. That creates room for medication guidance and growing the role as a care provider.
