Tucson Medical Center Improves Picking With Pharmacy Shelving
Southwest Solutions Group helped Tucson Medical Center replace outdated pharmacy shelving with a new system designed to improve medication access, storage capacity, and daily organization within the existing footprint.
Download Case StudyThe project supported pharmacy operations in a medical center environment.
Completed for a medical center pharmacy in the Tucson metro area.
The shelving was planned around daily pharmacy picking and medication storage needs.
SSG planned pharmacy shelving around medication access, storage capacity, and daily picking workflow.
The pharmacy shelving system organized medications and supplies while making better use of vertical space.
The pharmacy needed a better way to organize medications, reduce search time, and support faster daily picking.
Outdated Pharmacy Shelving Made Picking Harder
Tucson Medical Center’s pharmacy needed to replace outdated pick shelving during the COVID-19 pandemic. The existing system required frequent repairs, limited usable storage space, and made daily medication picking harder for staff.
Shelving Needed Frequent Repairs
The existing pharmacy shelving was outdated and needed frequent repairs. Staff needed a more reliable storage system for daily medication picking.
Medication Picking Took Too Long
The existing setup made medications harder to find and retrieve. Staff needed a more organized layout that could support faster daily picking.
Storage Capacity Was Limited
The storage area did not make full use of the available floor and vertical space. The pharmacy needed more capacity without expanding its footprint.
Smarter Pharmacy Shelving for Faster Picking
SSG designed a pharmacy shelving layout to improve medication organization, increase storage capacity, and make better use of the existing footprint. The system used vertical space more effectively and gave the pharmacy a more adaptable setup for medications and supplies. Before installation, SSG created 3-D Revit renderings so Tucson Medical Center could review how the new shelving would fit within the space.
Pharmacy Shelving for Medication Storage
SSG installed a pharmacy shelving system designed around medication picking and storage. The layout organized medications and supplies more clearly while making better use of the existing footprint.
More Capacity in the Same Footprint
The shelving increased usable storage capacity without requiring more floor space. Its adaptable design also gave the pharmacy more flexibility as inventory needs changed.
Better Access for Daily Picking
The new shelving made medications easier to organize and reach. The result was a cleaner pharmacy storage layout built around faster daily picking.
Designed Around Daily Pharmacy Workflow
SSG reviewed the pharmacy storage area, existing shelving, and daily picking needs before planning the new layout. The team created 3-D Revit renderings for review and designed a pharmacy shelving system that improved organization, access, and storage capacity within the existing space.
Reviewing the Existing Storage Area
SSG reviewed the existing pharmacy shelving, storage conditions, workflow needs, and capacity goals. The goal was to improve medication access without expanding the footprint.
Planning the Layout in 3-D
SSG created 3-D Revit renderings so Tucson Medical Center could review how the shelving would fit within the pharmacy. The layout showed how medications and supplies could be organized for easier daily picking.
Finalizing the Pharmacy Shelving Plan
The Revit renderings gave the medical center a clear view of the proposed shelving arrangement before installation. The review helped confirm the final layout for the available pharmacy space.
Preparing the Shelving System
The shelving system was prepared around the approved pharmacy layout. The planned setup supported better capacity, easier access, and clearer medication placement.
Installing the Pharmacy Shelving
SSG installed the new pharmacy shelving within the existing storage area. The completed layout gave medications and supplies clearer locations for daily picking.
Built for Changing Inventory Needs
The shelving gives the pharmacy more flexibility as inventory needs change. Better use of vertical space also supports more storage within the same footprint.
Faster Access, More Capacity, Better Organization
The new pharmacy shelving gave Tucson Medical Center a more organized picking area within the existing footprint. Staff gained better medication access, clearer organization, and more usable storage capacity without expanding the pharmacy.
Easier Daily Pharmacy Picking
The new shelving made medications easier to organize, find, and retrieve during daily pharmacy work.
Faster Access to Medications
The updated layout gave staff clearer access to medications and supplies. Better organization helped support smoother daily picking tasks.
Clearer Medication Organization
The shelving system gave medications and supplies clearer storage locations. The improved structure made the pharmacy easier for staff to navigate during daily work.
More Storage in the Same Footprint
The shelving made better use of vertical space and increased usable storage capacity without requiring more floor area. Its adaptable design also supports changing inventory needs.
