BD introduces simplified intravenous medication management solution

BD has introduced a simplified way for hospitals to manage intravenous medication, incorporating the full range of technologies it can offer following its buyout of CareFusion.

The new automated intravenous management solution is the first to include BD and CareFusion technologies working together to create a simplified and safer medication management system.

BD's Cato Medication Workflow Solutions have been integrated with the CareFusion SmartWorks platform to seamlessly integrate with pharmacy IT systems to receive orders, while BD's PhaSeal can be used to minimise the risk of hazardous drug exposure.

Meanwhile, the Track and Deliver module of Pyxis ES Link enables staff to see exactly where medication is during transport and when it is delivered, while the Alaris System makes it easier to record data to electronic medical records.

Other aspects of the service offering include the Alaris Viewer Suite for Charge Capture and Med View Dashboard interface system.

Ranjeet Banerjee, worldwide president of medication management solutions for BD, said: "We will continue to integrate and innovate to develop medication management solutions that help clinicians deliver the safest and most efficient care."
