Data Intelligence and the Framework to Build the Autonomous Pharmacy of the Future
National leaders in health system pharmacy joined together to create a framework for a fully autonomous pharmacy, leveraging technology to reduce medication errors and waste, and improve clinician satisfaction and patient outcomes. Allen and James share the work of the Autonomous Pharmacy Advisory Board in examining the safety and financial risks of manual processes, siloed technologies, and lack of robust data collection and integration at the enterprise level of pharmacy operations in today’s healthcare systems. The resulting five-level framework is a strategic vision and roadmap for achieving fully automated, interoperable, and effective medication management.
As first presented at Scottsdale Institute
“When every drug dose is presented as a node on the network, think about the data and analytics that become possible. The medication can be tracked across its entire journey, from manufacturer, throughout the supply chain, all the way to the patient, whether in an acute setting, rehab, retail or even back to the patient’s home.”
