ASHP meeting to debut ‘Intelligent Pharmacy Pavilion’

During the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists’ upcoming 2014 Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition in Anaheim, CA., a so-called Intelligent Pharmacy Pavilion (IPP) featuring demonstration rooms with the latest technology for hospital and ambulatory care pharmacies will be showcased.

Presented in partnership with the Intelligent Healthcare Association, the 7,200-square-foot pavilion will allow healthcare professionals to observe the integration of medication management technology and patient care delivery. The demonstration rooms will include a hospital pharmacy, a compounding area, an outpatient pharmacy, and a supply chain room.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with ASHP and are confident that the Intelligent Pharmacy Pavilion will provide an exciting, educational experience for visitors,” said Dr. Shannon “JJ” Johnson, chairman of the pavilion planning committee and director of pharmacy for Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego.

The IPP features management systems designed to improve patient safety, increase operational efficiencies, and streamline the pharmaceutical supply chain.

“ASHP looks forward to hosting this innovative exhibit during the 2014 Midyear,” said Julie Webb, RPh, ASHP’s vice president of professional development. “The pavilion will provide attendees with a unique look at how technology can be utilized to prevent errors and improve safety for their patients.”
