Title:	EFFECTS OF USING INTELLIFILL IV ROBOT SYSTEM ON IV (INTRAVENOUS) ADMIXTURE OPERATIONS
Author:	QIAN, JINGJING
Description:	This study evaluated the effects of using IntelliFill IV Robot system on IV admixture operations at the Division of Pharmacy, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), Cincinnati, Ohio. A before (without IntelliFill) and after (with IntelliFill) study design was applied. One-minute fixed-interval work sampling technique was used in the evaluation. Return of investment (ROI) analysis also was conducted in determining the break-even point. The data analyses include Chi-square test, frequency analysis, and time unit analysis. Total observations of pharmacy staff on IV admixture operations before and after using IntelliFill IV Robot system were 18,228 minutes and 17,231 minutes, respectively. There was a daily time spent saved of 0.42 FTE for pharmacy staff after using the IntelliFill system. The break-even point for using this IntelliFill IV Robot system was a daily workload of 489 syringes for automated IV admixture. IntelliFill IV Robot system could reduce labor utilization on IV admixture operations.
