Pyxis^® MedStation^® system

The Pyxis^® MedStation^® system is the leading automated dispensing system supporting decentralized medication management. Barcode scanning to help ensure accurate medication dispensing, features to prevent loading of the wrong medication and active alerts to provide an added safety precaution for high risk medications are just a few of the ways the Pyxis^® MedStation^® system can help your facility support safe and efficient medication management.

By taking full advantage of the Pyxis^® MedStation^® system, the Hospital of Saint Raphael was able to decrease their time to first dose by 94%, and free up pharmacist time to launch an anticoagulant management program in support of NPSG 3E. ¹

Key advantages

• Integrating with other Pyxis^® technologies to manage medications from the pharmacy to the nursing unit to the point of care
• Maximizing the security of high-risk and high-alert medications with proprietary Pyxis CUBIE^® technology
• Integrating the Pyxis^® MedStation^® system with the Pyxis^® Connect system, Avera McKennan Hospital saw a reduction in order turnaround time from 2.5 hours to 16 minutes. ²
• Increasing medication availability through decentralized medication management. A study of 7 hospitals indicates that as the number of medications managed through ADCs increases, the result is reduced time to first dose and fewer missing doses. ³
• Helping decrease the risk of diversion and increase medication safety with the Med Analytics Service.
