BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Talyst, a leader in automated medication management, today unveiled InSite(TM) for Long-Term Care. InSite is the first remote dispensing system designed exclusively for long-term care facilities and the patients in their care.
The company made the announcement at the annual meeting of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, underway this week in New Orleans.
