With a foundation of state-of-the-art medication management technology from Cardinal Health, Ochsner Medical Center, in
New Orleans, La., has knocked down silos and integrated its technology to address process breakdowns and hando s that can
result in harmful medication errors.
Cardinal Health has taken similar approaches to medication safety at customer sites around the globe. By creating a seamless flow of
information between Cardinal Health Pyxis® automated dispensing cabinets, CareFusion® portable bedside verification applications
and Alaris® intelligent infusion systems, Cardinal Health enables clinicians to have greater confidence that they are administering
the right medication for the right patient at the right time. These technologies can also interface with a hospital’s existing healthcare
information systems, leading to a more comprehensive approach to a hospital’s medication management process.
Because we o er products and services that help safeguard against the 1.5 million medication errors each year, which cause nearly
100,000 deaths and add more than $3.5 billion in additional costs to the U.S. healthcare system alone, Cardinal Health is essential to
medication safety.
