Procedural areas run on speed, but point-of-care drug preparation introduces steps where errors, compliance gaps and waste accumulate. For pharmacy leaders, every manual preparation task in the operating room is a safety variable and a documentation burden.
Pharmacy leadership from the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System in Chicago recently examined what changes when ready-to-administer prefilled syringes replace error-prone bedside preparation across inpatient operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers.
This session details how commercially manufactured products shift the medication-use model, cutting manual steps, easing clinician cognitive load and improving barcode scanning accuracy.
What you will learn:
- How ready-to-administer products reduce manual prep and improve barcode scanning
- How FDA cGMP-manufactured prefilled syringes reduce compliance burden and waste
- How longer shelf life improves inventory and reduces waste
- How standardized workflows support efficiency and remote pharmacy oversight
