Case Study:
Implementation of
Auto Syringe-Filling
Technology Improves
Pediatric Pharmacy
Performance
Automated unit-dose
packaging and labeling of
oral liquid medications improves
efficiencies and patient care
in pediatric pharmacy.
CASE STUDY
www.medpak.com
PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME
One big driver behind pharmacy automation is return on investment in the form of
time savings, as well as the ability to free up pharmacists and technicians to perform
other tasks within the pharmacy. The ultimate priority, of course, is enhanced
patient care and safety. When a new product can make a positive impact on these
considerations, it warrants attention.
Medical Packaging Inc.’s Auto-Draw® Oral Syringe Filling System is an intuitive, user-
friendly tool that is changing the way pharmacies accomplish batch flling of syringes.
Combined with the company’s companion Auto-Wrap® Syringe Labeling system, the
Auto-Draw® provides the ideal oral liquid medication packaging and labeling solution.
THE CHALLENGE
When it comes to neonates and pediatric patients, one size does not ft all. Dosing
is typically based upon the patient’s weight and, to a lesser extent, age and/or body
surface area. To manage these various dosage requirements, doses are custom tailored
and subsequently prepared manually for each patient. This individual repackaging of
oral liquid medications tends to be a time-intensive process.
However, there are opportunities to take advantage of clinically accepted, weight-
based dosage ranges. There are situations where a given medication may be safely
administered based on a weight or age range. In this situation, batching of doses
and repackaging in corresponding aliquots is not only fnancially benefcial (i.e.
repurposing individuals to perform other tasks), it is preferred.
For Enrico Ligniti, Pharm.D., Director, Pediatric Pharmacy Service Line for Cohen
Children’s Medical Center in Queens, New York, utilizing the Auto-Draw® and Auto-
Wrap® Oral Syringe Filling Labeling System to batch-fll weight-range–based doses
seemed like a potential opportunity for increasing efciency and improving safety in
his pediatric pharmacy.

Medical-Grade
Refrigerators
Cabinet-wide temperature
consistency is a game-
changer for critical
pharmaceutical cold
storage needs.
CASE STUDY
www.follettice.com
PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME(S)
Extreme temperatures and temperature changes can have negative efects on
pharmaceutical products that range from reduced efcacy to toxicity, rendering
the drugs unusable. Of particular concern to hospital pharmacy managers is the
degradation of high-cost chemotherapeutics, biologics, and factor products.
Pharmacy managers have long relied on refrigerators to safely store temperature-
sensitive medications. But even dedicated refrigeration units require vigilant
monitoring, since swings in temperature can result from opening a door too frequently
or for too long, and because diferent shelves in a particular unit may vary in degrees.
To answer the need for stable, reliable, and uniform temperature control, Follett, a
leader in medical-grade refrigeration, has developed high-performance, plenum-
cooled upright units designed specifcally for pharmacy use.
THE CHALLENGE
Oklahoma State University Medical Center (OSUMC) is a 195-bed teaching hospital
located in downtown Tulsa. When John Bury, Pharm.D., stepped into the OSUMC
Director of Pharmacy role in 2014, the refrigeration equipment he inherited was
functional, but clearly older.
“The units had been there probably 25 years or more. They were solid, but then one
gave out,” Bury recalled. “I knew we could manage being down one refrigerator, but if
we were to lose another — well, you’re talking about a lot of high-dollar items subject
to loss.”

they are able to get
