Cycle-Fill Services

At Park Shore Pharmacon, we understand that consistent, accurate, and efficient medication delivery is essential to the success of long-term care facilities. Our comprehensive Cycle-Fill Services are designed to ensure residents receive the medications they need on time, every time. By reducing medication errors, simplifying refills, and minimizing last-minute prescription issues, our system empowers staff, protects residents, and promotes compliance.

Cycle-Fill Services are the foundation of our medication management strategy, built to support I/DD waiver group homes, intermediate care facilities, assisted living communities, behavioral health programs, and adult day training centers throughout Florida. With automated solutions, customized packaging, and clinical oversight, Park Shore Pharmacon leads the way in delivering reliable and streamlined pharmacy support.

DOSIS Systems Automation: Precision Meets Efficiency

At Park Shore Pharmacon, the heart of our Cycle-Fill Services is powered by advanced DOSIS Systems Automation—an innovative robotic technology designed to enhance the speed, accuracy, and reliability of medication packaging. This automated system revolutionizes the preparation of both unit-dose and multi-dose medications by significantly reducing the potential for human error while boosting efficiency across every phase of the dispensing process.

DOSIS enables our pharmacy team to process high volumes of prescriptions with exceptional precision. Each medication is automatically sorted, packaged, and labeled according to the exact dosing schedule of each resident. Whether a resident requires once-daily or multiple administrations throughout the day, the system ensures every packet is organized, accurate, and ready for timely delivery.

What sets DOSIS apart is its ability to maintain consistency at scale. Even as the number of prescriptions increases, the system delivers dependable results without slowing down or sacrificing quality. This allows our pharmacy to stay ahead of demand, guaranteeing that all medications arrive on schedule and are aligned with residents’ individual treatment plans.

By integrating DOSIS into our daily operations, we offer long-term care facilities the assurance that every medication cycle is managed with the highest standard of care. Facility staff benefit from simplified medication passes, reduced administrative burdens, and greater confidence in the accuracy of their pharmacy partner.

With Park Shore Pharmacon’s commitment to automation and innovation, DOSIS stands as a key component in delivering safe, timely, and efficient pharmacy services to care communities across Florida.

These advanced technologies allow us to better serve I/DD group homes and high-volume care facilities by improving medication safety and workflow efficiency.

Parata ATP 2 Automation: High-Speed Compliance Packaging

At Park Shore Pharmacon, we continually invest in advanced technology to improve the accuracy, speed, and reliability of our services. One of the standout features of our pharmacy operations is the integration of Parata ATP 2 Automation into our Cycle-Fill Services. This high-speed packaging system is specifically designed to support strip and pouch packaging, offering a dependable solution for residents with complex, multi-dose medication regimens.

Parata ATP 2 automates the sorting and packaging of multiple medications into single-use pouches, each labeled with essential details such as the resident’s name, medication names, dosages, and exact administration times. This precise and easy-to-read format promotes safer medication administration and is especially beneficial in long-term care settings, where multiple medications are often prescribed throughout the day.

The system dramatically boosts our pharmacy’s production efficiency, enabling us to serve high-volume facilities without compromising safety or personalization. For caregivers, the result is a more organized med pass experience with fewer interruptions and less room for confusion or error. Pouch packaging simplifies the routine, reduces manual handling, and supports faster verification at the point of care.

By incorporating Parata ATP 2 into our workflow, Park Shore Pharmacon ensures a modern, scalable, and compliant medication delivery process. It not only enhances the effectiveness of our cycle-fill operations but also aligns with our mission to provide long-term care partners with the tools and support they need to deliver exceptional care. With this technology, our pharmacy stays ahead of growing demands—while helping your team stay focused on what matters most: the well-being of your residents.

Medication Synchronization & Adherence Programs

A key advantage of Park Shore Pharmacon’s Cycle-Fill Services is our robust Medication Synchronization and Adherence Programs. These services are carefully designed to streamline medication management by aligning all of a resident’s prescriptions to refill on the same schedule. By doing so, we simplify the entire medication administration process and ensure greater consistency in care.

Synchronizing prescriptions minimizes disruptions in therapy by ensuring that residents receive their medications in a timely and coordinated manner. This approach not only reduces the likelihood of missed or delayed doses but also creates a more organized and predictable system for caregivers. With all medications arriving in a single, scheduled delivery, facilities spend less time tracking down refills and more time focusing on resident well-being.

Beyond synchronization, our adherence programs are structured to promote reliable medication usage through thoughtful support tools. We offer custom packaging options that make it easier for staff and residents to identify the correct medication at the correct time. In addition, we provide clear dosing instructions and optional reminder systems to further reinforce routine and accuracy.

This integrated process significantly reduces medication waste, improves health outcomes, and helps prevent unnecessary hospital visits that often result from missed or inconsistent dosing. Facilities also benefit from improved compliance with regulatory standards and a more efficient workflow for both pharmacy and care staff.

By combining synchronization and adherence into one seamless program, Park Shore Pharmacon empowers long-term care providers to maintain consistency, reduce risk, and enhance the overall quality of care for their residents.

1st of the Month Cycle Program: Organized & Predictable Refill Management

Consistency is essential in long-term care, especially when it comes to medication management. At Park Shore Pharmacon, our 1st of the Month Cycle Program offers a structured, reliable solution to help facilities stay on top of their medication schedules. As part of our broader Cycle-Fill Services, this program aligns all resident prescriptions to a single, monthly start date—making the entire process more predictable and manageable.

By setting the first day of each month as the official start of the medication cycle, facilities benefit from a streamlined routine that reduces stress and eliminates guesswork. Pharmacy teams can prepare medications in advance, packaging and labeling each order for timely delivery. This lead time allows for accurate prescription reviews, the resolution of refill authorizations, and inventory checks—well before the medications are needed.

For administrators and caregivers, the program simplifies planning and documentation. There’s no need to coordinate scattered refill dates or deal with multiple deliveries throughout the month. Instead, staff can count on receiving a complete, organized supply of medications ahead of the cycle’s start. This reduces the need for urgent orders or last-minute pharmacy calls and improves overall workflow efficiency.

Facilities enrolled in the 1st of the Month Cycle Program often report smoother survey readiness, better medication adherence, and fewer delays during med passes. Most importantly, it gives staff more time to focus on what truly matters—providing attentive, hands-on care to residents without being overwhelmed by administrative and logistical tasks.

Cycle Fill Check-In Services: Quality Control from Start to Finish

Our Cycle Fill Check-In Services are a key quality control measure within our Cycle-Fill Services framework. When medications are delivered to your facility, our process doesn’t stop there. Park Shore Pharmacon offers on-site or virtual check-ins to verify accuracy, ensure proper storage, and assist facility staff in unpacking and organizing medications.

We offer barcode scanning, electronic verification, and digital inventory logs to support full transparency and traceability. Our pharmacy team communicates closely with your staff to resolve discrepancies, adjust to last-minute changes, and ensure that medications are ready for administration.

These check-in services help eliminate delays, reduce stress, and maintain full compliance with state and federal medication regulations.
