SP Datapoint Wins 2nd Design Award

Mission, Kan. — ScriptPro’s SP Datapoint has again received a significant design award. I.D. magazine recently announced the winners of its 2009 Annual Design Review and SP Datapoint was one of five winners in the category of Equipment.

The jurors describe the SP Datapoint this way: “A sleek and strong aluminum and steel case keeps the computer and detachable prescription label printer safe from dirt and dings, while a modular design lets pharmacists stack the components vertically to maximize counter space—not a revolutionary idea, but a nice one. The aesthetic will last as long as the technology will.”

Earlier this year, the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies awarded a 2008 GOOD DESIGN Award to SP Datapoint, designed by KEM STUDIO, Kansas City, MO.

The GOOD DESIGN program emphasizes design of the highest form, function, and aesthetic. Products submitted to the program are judged by a jury of distinguished design professionals and specialists using criteria established in the original 1950 program.

ScriptPro’s SP Datapoint meets the rigorous criteria for its design. ScriptPro and KEM STUDIO developed SP Datapoint as a compact, interactive countertop unit for entering, filling, verifying, dispensing, and tracking prescriptions. Keeping in mind the tight counter space in most pharmacies, it integrates an adjustable-height touchscreen monitor, barcode scanner, and an optional SP Printer labeling device to provide workflow control and dispensing accuracy in a small environment. SP Datapoint is part of SP Central Retail Store Package, which includes SP Central Pharmacy Management System.

The GOOD DESIGN program was founded in Chicago in 1950, and remains the oldest and most prestigious awards program worldwide. The SP Datapoint was chosen from hundreds of submissions from over 48 nations. Other 2008 GOOD DESIGN winners include the iMac, iPod Touch, and HP TouchSmart PC.

I.D. magazine’s Annual Design Review has been held since 1954 and recognizes the best in product, furniture, graphic, and environment design, from the iconic to the obscure. Each year, the featured work is chosen by a jury of leading practitioners.
