Pratt, KS – Pratt Regional Medical Center recently completed the installation of a Pyxis MedStation® SN automated medication dispensing system. Pratt Regional Medical Center’s Pyxis medication automation will help decrease medication errors, improve quality of care and streamline workflow efficiencies.

The Pyxis MedStation SN automated medication management system helps to reduce medication errors and improve quality of care. Doug Meyer, PRMC’s Pharmacy Manager, said this system helps ensure that a pharmacist reviews the orders prior to medication dispensing. “The Pyxis MedStation system reduces the chances of replenishment errors with bar code-based station replenishment,” said Meyer. “Overall it improves communication and teamwork between nursing and pharmacy.”

“This new system definitely enhances medication administration efficiencies,” PRMC V.P. of Patient Care, Jenny Larrison said. “We’ve implemented a lot of new technology in the past year, which allows us to continue to provide safe and quality care for our patients.”

Pratt Regional Medical Center’s mission is to provide excellent and compassionate healthcare services. For more information about PRMC, please contact PRMC Director of Community Services, Kim Stivers.
