Allegheny General sees gains from IV robotics insourcing program
Allegheny General Hospital, a 650-bed academic center, faced challenges with unreliable 503B suppliers for compounded sterile products (CSPs). After a vendor closure, the hospital struggled with demand, leading to shortages and waste.
To regain control, Allegheny General implemented Omnicell's Central Pharmacy IV Compounding Service, including an i.v.STATION Non-hazardous Compounding Robot. This solution standardized sterility and stability testing and best practices. Within six months, they saved nearly $700,000, automated 30% of non-chemo IV preps, and improved safety. The program expanded with a second robot and IV workflow automation.
