ARxIUM, an industry-leading developer of pharmacy automation and workflow solutions, today announced King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH) in Bahrain purchased a RIVA system for its hospital pharmacy. As the only fully automated IV compounding system on the market today, RIVA prepares syringes and IV bags in an aseptic ISO Class 5 environment and significantly increases safety and pharmacy workflow.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur new partnership with King Hamad University Hospital is an exciting opportunity to showcase RIVA\u2019s unmatched IV compounding capabilities in a facility that is a recognized leader in Bahrain,\u201d said Dr. Niels Erik Hansen, president and CEO of ARxIUM. \u201cThe system\u2019s safeguards will serve as a substantial differentiator from competing hospitals in the region. In addition, RIVA will generate considerable cost-savings for the hospital by eliminating the need for medication outsourcing and decreasing pharmacy waste.\u201d<\/p>\n
KHUH selected RIVA because it has safely and accurately produced nearly seven million IV doses worldwide. The hospital also chose the system due to its comprehensive recordkeeping and reporting capabilities and seamless integration into existing digital networks. RIVA\u2019s proven cost effectiveness was another deciding factor, as it lowers the cost-per-dose of medications by allowing the hospital pharmacy to insource the production of IV medications and process batch doses.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe safety of our patients and staff is paramount, and selecting RIVA helps ensure we achieve that goal,\u201d said Dr. Elias Fadel, director of the KHUH Oncology Center. \u201cThe system\u2019s advanced technologies will protect our staff from exposure to hazardous chemotherapy drugs. Additionally, it will allow for more doses to be prepared simultaneously while pharmacists and technicians are performing other activities, which could improve patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Located in Muharraq, KHUH has more than 300 beds and nearly 2,000 employees in the 1.3 million square foot facility. The hospital offers comprehensive medical, surgical and diagnostic services in line with updated international standards. Also, the hospital is constructing a national oncology center to provide first\u2010class cancer care and research facilities to the citizens of Bahrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
