<strong>Medication</strong> <strong>management</strong> <strong>safety</strong><br />
<strong>technology</strong><br />
® ®<br />
The Pyxis PARX system and the Pyxis MedStation ® system can help<br />
hospitals improve medication <strong>safety</strong>, comply with regulations and increase<br />
staff productivity and satisfaction by integrating automated barcoding<br />
during pick, check and delivery with profiled ADCs. Bringing these<br />
technologies together provides a closed-loop medication replenishment<br />
and reporting system with redundant checks, standardized processes and<br />
actionable information (Figure 1) that can increase a sense of trust and<br />
security among staff. In today’s tight resource environment, automation<br />
can also help pharmacists free up time for the development of clinical<br />
services.<br />
Closed-loop replenishment<br />
The newest version of the pharmacy auto-replenishment system lets you<br />
use automated scanning <strong>technology</strong> to measurably improve <strong>safety</strong> and<br />
accuracy during the pick-check-refill process. The system is able to read twodimensional<br />
(2D) barcodes and operates on the hospital’s wireless network.<br />
Closed-loop reporting<br />
The system’s reporting capabilities allow staff to view actionable information<br />
across the entire medication refill process to help identify trends, pinpoint<br />
opportunities to improve <strong>safety</strong>, reinforce standardized practice and reduce<br />
diversion. Data automatically gathered by the system also help staff to<br />
identify opportunities to make process improvements related to refill, staff<br />
utilization, turnaround times and more. The different reports available on<br />
these systems (Table 2) can help hospitals to meet regulatory requirements<br />
and to identify opportunities for CQI.<br />
