Infection Control

Evaluating the impact of an automated drug retrieval cabinet and robotic dispensing system in a large hospital central pharmacy.

PURPOSE: To determine the impact of implementing 2 technologies in succession, the Carousel system and XR2 robot, in a hospital central pharmacy. The study examined the technologies' impact on workload shifted from fully human-involved, labor-intensive filling from shelves to Carousel and/or XR2, prevention of filling errors, and efficiency.
