Franklin Lakes-based BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) announced a strategic partnership with Georgia’s Wellstar Health System to enhance the safety and quality of medication delivery for hospital and care facility patients.
This collaboration builds a more connected approach to medication management from the pharmacy to the bedside by combining BD Pyxis™ Pro medication dispensing technologies with BD Alaris™ Infusion Systems, according to a release.
By adopting the latest in dispensing and infusion technology, Wellstar can empower clinicians with greater accuracy, real‑time visibility, and streamlined workflows, helping them to focus more on delivering safe, dependable care to their patients.
The new BD Pyxis™ Pro Dispensing Solution with Analytics in BD Incada™, powered by artificial intelligence, provides Wellstar with enterprise-wide visibility into medication inventory, including on-demand insights through natural-language queries.
Customizable dashboards convert data into actionable intelligence, helping clinicians identify trends to ensure medication availability, reduce medication waste, and optimize labor efficiency.
BD Alaris™ EMR Interoperability enables Wellstar clinicians to use barcode scanning to send infusion orders directly from the electronic medical record and receive infusion statuses back into the EMR.
In April, BD was recognized by the Healthcare Industry Resilience Collaborative (HIRC) as the only supplier to receive HIRC’s inaugural Member Choice Awards across three categories. BD was awarded for its transparency, resiliency, and partnership.
