The product, called PharmacyKeeper, is a pharmacy dispensing program for intravenous medications that automates workflow in sterile compounding. 

“PharmacyKeeper will leave no room for uncertainty or human error,” Brandon Crowe, PharmD, pharmacy director for Mon Health Medical Center in Morgantown, said in a news release shared with Becker’s. “The program ensures that each dose is accurately labeled and helps us identify potential hazards before they can occur.”

The software will be used at its flagship hospital, Mon Health Medical Center in Morgantown, Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital in Weston, and Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital in Kingwood.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
