Nurses get their time back with automated drug preparation
Work on standardising the closed pharmaceutical loop continues in the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority. The next step is an automated preparation process. The results show a better everyday life for nurses. Experiences from trials? Find out more in this webinar.
'This is the future'
This is what speaker Astrid Johnsen emphasises. She and Silje Eidsli are 100% certain that we need to automate a process for preparing medicines that are sent to nurses by post.

Topic
By automating the delivery of prepared medicines to the individual patient, the hospital will achieve more efficient medicines management. This frees up time for nurses. How do you make automation work? How did nurses experience these changes in routines?
Presentation by project manager Silje Eidsli at Sykehuspartner HF and technical developer Astrid Johnsen at Sykehusapotekene HF.
The testing of patient-specific delivery took place at Akershus University Hospital, Østfold Hospital, Kalnes and Telemark Hospital. The work is part of the project Regional standard for closed pharmaceutical loops. See also the recording from a previous webinar about the project.
