Transforming Medication Management – New Insights from the HIMSS Medication Management Technology Index

Healthcare providers are facing a number of high priority systemic issues around medication management. Medication errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., inpatient drug spending is rapidly rising, and nurses are spending an increasingly large amount of their time on non-value-added activities. And those are just some of the challenges hospitals and health systems face today. Challenges that, along with others, require a connected approach to improve patient safety, optimize medication inventories and drive clinical efficiencies while reducing costs.

To provide hospitals and health systems with new insight into the state of medication management, BD has partnered with HIMSS to introduce the Medication Management Technology Index. The Index provides a benchmark for healthcare providers to assess their medication management progress against industry and market norms while trending changes over time.

Please join Janet King, Senior Director of Market Insights at HIMSS Media and Claudia Russell, VP of Customer Effectiveness at BD as they draw on results from the first wave of this research to learn more about:

• The extent to which healthcare providers are adopting key medication management technologies
• The most common medication management challenges
• Provider perceptions of medication management technology effectiveness and ROI
• The degree to which providers perceive current technologies can be integrated into the medication management process, and more
