Powerful Data in Medication Preparation


Where Automation Meets Insight

In the evolving world of healthcare, the intersection of automation and human expertise is reshaping how care is delivered. It’s no longer just about speeding up processes—it’s about unlocking meaningful insights that drive safer, smarter decisions.

Pharmacy teams today are leveraging automation not only to streamline workflows but to capture and analyze data that was previously out of reach. This shift is transforming medication preparation into a strategic, data-informed process.

Low-Touch, High-Impact

Every dose prepared through automated systems generates valuable data. When harnessed effectively, this data empowers pharmacy teams to:

  • Pinpoint inefficiencies in workflows

  • Reduce variability in compounding and dispensing

  • Strengthen compliance with safety and regulatory standards

This data-driven approach to medication safety builds trust and provides measurable proof of automation’s value through informed decision-making,

Not to mention, the support it brings to continuous improvement by highlighting trends, anomalies, and opportunities for optimization.


But the impact goes deeper. Data reveals patterns, highlights anomalies, and uncovers opportunities for continuous improvement. It’s not just about doing things faster—it’s about doing them better, with measurable proof of value.

With over 18,300,000 doses safely prepared through RIVA™, our robotic IV compounding system, the numbers speak volumes. Behind each dose is a story of precision, safety, and trust—shared by hospitals and healthcare providers who are redefining how medications are prepared.


Why Robotic IV Compounding Matters

Manual IV compounding is labor-intensive and vulnerable to error. Robotic systems like RIVA are changing the game by transforming how hospitals prepare IV medications by ensuring precision, sterility, and traceability.

Ensuring sterility and accuracy in every preparation

  • Reducing human error and improving workflow efficiency

  • Providing detailed audit trails for compliance

  • Supporting USP <797> standards

  • Freeing up staff for more clinical, patient-facing roles

This isn’t just a technological upgrade—it’s a strategic investment in safer, smarter pharmacy operations. And it’s aligned with CDC injection safety guidelines, helping hospitals meet the highest standards of care.


Data Drives Better Decisions

Hospitals using automation-generated data are gaining more than just operational efficiency—they’re unlocking insights that shape smarter strategies. These insights support:

  • Inventory management: ensuring the right medications are available when needed

  • Staff allocation: optimizing resources based on real-time demand

  • Risk mitigation: identifying and addressing potential safety concerns

  • Clinical decision support: informing care with accurate, timely data

This kind of intelligence helps pharmacy leaders make decisions that directly impact patient outcomes—and do so with confidence.

Redefining the Role of the Pharmacist

Automation doesn’t replace pharmacists—it amplifies their impact. By removing repetitive manual tasks, pharmacists are free to focus on what matters most: patient care.

This shift is redefining the role of the pharmacist. Today’s pharmacy workforce is:

  • Data-informed

  • Patient-centered

  • Strategically aligned with hospital goals

As hospitals continue to embrace digital transformation, the synergy between machine precision and human judgment will shape the future of pharmacy—one where every dose is safe, every decision is informed, and every patient benefits.
