– Quote from Anthony Scott, Assistant Director of Pharmacy, University of Chicago Medicine
“IntelliGuard RFID technology was introduced here over three years ago. This simple, unique, no label product immediately resolved long standing issues with monitoring medications in code trays not just for expiration dates but also for utilization. Access to these metrics allowed us to remove drugs prior to their expiration date for utilization in our cleanroom and thus reduce IV waste. Routine utilization metrics data allowed my staff to determine which medications are truly needed in a code or rapid response event. As times goes by we are continually finding new uses for this technology. Its current advantages over existing bar code technology for monitoring expiration dates cannot be over emphasized. This tool is a great asset in pharmacy inventory management.”
“I wanted to send you a brief letter of appreciation regarding Ms. Courtney Janssen who was the Implementation Lead for the Intelliguard Tray Management System at the VA Maryland Health Care System. …I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the system and her professionalism. One of our Pharmacy Technicians, ….Lead for our medication tray management process, had indicated to me her excitement in taking on this new responsibility, but more importantly, how thorough Ms. Janssen was in training her as a super-user and ensuring that she was prepared to manage the process on her own. Over the past three years we have spent over $2 million in capital investments, primarily in pharmacy automation technology, and we have worked with numerous vendor representatives, installers, and technicians. As you might expect, each had varying levels of ability and professionalism. It was a true pleasure for our entire team to work with Ms. Janssen as she was an outstanding representative and ambassador for IntelliGuard.
