About this episode
Andrea Thomaz CEO and Co-Founder Diligent Robots Technology Impacting Hospital Pharmacy Key Messages: Moxi has significantly improved the efficiency of medication delivery, impacting pharmacy and nursing operations in about 40% of its use cases. Moxi enhances medication administration efficiency and safety by automating delivery, reducing potential errors and delays. Moxi's design caters to the unique challenges of pediatric environments and academic medical centers, where non-tube medication lists are significantly longer. Its precision in handling patient-specific formulations and expensive or investigational drugs underscores its value in settings where timing and safety are critical. Moxi integrates with pharmacy management systems to enhance workflow coordination without disrupting established processes. Moxi enhances service levels by facilitating efficient inter-pharmacy transfers, important for large healthcare facilities. With over half a million pharmacy deliveries made to date, it demonstrates a profound ability to enhance workflow and collaboration between pharmacy and clinical teams. Pharmacists report that Moxi improves their work efficiency and allows more time for patient care and interaction. At ChristianaCare, an 1,100-bed hospital, the deployment of three Moxi robots has facilitated approximately 15,000 medication deliveries from their main, satellite, and retail pharmacies. This showcases Moxi's role in seamlessly transporting medications, thereby improving operational efficiency and patient care. Endeavor Health Elmhurst in Illinois employs several Moxi robots for ad-hoc and scheduled deliveries, including chemotherapy medications to infusion clinics. Our robots are the sole delivery mechanism for all their infusion medications, demonstrating Moxi's ability to support high-demand areas without the need for additional staffing.
