Through the partnership, drones will also move lab samples and supplies between OhioHealth facilities. By 2025, the network will be able to reach 2 million people in the Columbus area, according to an Aug. 2 OhioHealth news release.
The partnership aims to drive faster prescription delivery and reduced carbon emissions through Zipline’s fleet of electric drones.
“Zipline drone delivery provides a great alternative for OhioHealth as we look to grow our home infusion and specialty pharmacy home delivery services. It gets products to patients more quickly and at a lower cost, and uses less carbon-intensive packing materials compared to our traditional delivery methods,” OhioHealth Vice President of Pharmacy Services Charles McCluskey III, said in the release.
