First Swisslog Automated Medication Management Systems for Latin America

Maranello, Italy (PRWEB) November 19, 2013

Hospital Sírio-Libanês started a pioneering project for full automation of its central pharmacy, which is planned to go-live by mid 2014. Its aim is to ensure the current levels of security and workflow efficiency in medication administration, while doubling the institution’s capacity by 2016.

For the project execution, Hospital Sírio-Libanês entered an agreement with Swisslog Healthcare Solutions, leader in the development of integrated solutions for hospital automation.

“This is the first agreement for automated medication management systems signed in Latin America, an area that Swisslog is looking at with great interest. Our automated solutions contribute tangible benefits to healthcare providers in Latin America, and in Brazil in particular,” says Pieter Feenstra, Executive Vice President of Swisslog Healthcare Solutions. “Swisslog is partnering with leading healthcare institutions worldwide and we are happy to count one of the primary Latin America institutions among our customers,” Feenstra concludes.

The agreement covers high-technology systems in two complementary devices: the PillPick Automated Packaging and Dispensing System, which automatically dispenses patient-specific therapies in unit doses, and the BoxPicker Automated Pharmacy Storage System, which provides secure storage and retrieval of original manufacturer packages. The combination of these two automated systems will allow the hospital to manage and trace its entire drug formulary.

“This project is very important to ensure the success of our hospital expansion, so we are able to maintain our patients’ security in an area that is as critical as the use of medications. The new system will support the elimination of waste, cost reduction and optimization of our pharmacy and nursing teams’ work,” says Dr. Gonzalo Vecina Neto, Corporate superintendent at Hospital Sírio-Libanês.

The PillPick and BoxPicker Software will be integrated into the hospital’s existing prescription system, which is expected to result in a reduction of approximately 90% of the manual medication management in the pharmacy, while expanding the process control and traceability. To ensure the project’s success, a multi-disciplinary team made up of pharmacists, supply managers, nurses, IT specialists, HSL engineers and architects will be in charge of implementing the solution in partnership with Swisslog.

The civil works for adjustment of the physical space for the new pharmacy, whose area will be enlarged by 25%, has already been projected in the design for modernization and expansion of the Bela Vista unit of Hospital Sírio-Libanês through investments of over R$ 1 billion in the period between 2009 and 2014.

About Hospital Sírio-Libanês

The Sírio-Libanês Hospital is a philanthropic institution whose mission is to be a Center of Medical Excellence, focusing on Actions in the Healthcare, Teaching and Research areas. Occupying an area of 99,989 m², and with 4,919 collaborators and approximately 3,621 doctors – the Sírio-Libanês Hospital has the capacity to carry out more than 50 surgical procedures per day, around 1,200 types of diagnostic examinations and has beds for 372 people.

Lean Kanban North America Finalizes Speaker Lineup for April Management Conference


Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) March 29, 2013

Lean Kanban North America 2013, part of the global conference series of the largest, highest quality Kanban events in the world, announces the final lineup of speakers for its management conference taking place April 28-May 2 in Chicago.

Organized by Lean-Kanban University (LKU), Lean Kanban North America is an international gathering of professionals who realize the value of Lean thinking. This year’s conference features the next wave of ideas on measurement, psychology of change, Kanban at scale, risk management, and core foundations of Kanban.

The event is for managers, developers, and change agents who value smart thinking, voracious learning, and constant improvement in the workplace. Attendees will meet and mingle with thought leaders, worldwide experts and Brickell Key Award winners who are the most-respected Lean and Kanban experts all sharing their knowledge under one roof.

Lean Kanban North America Keynote Speakers include:


    Bob Lewis, opening keynote and InfoWorld columnist, will convey why “Everything You Know Is Wrong.” This entertaining and thought-provoking talk explains what’s so disastrous about standard models for running IT organizations. Lewis presents a compelling alternative that won’t just drive better results, for IT and for the business it serves, but will make the job of leading and working in IT more satisfying and enjoyable as well.

    Douglas Hubbard, inventor of Applied Information Economics (AIE) and Chicago-based author of How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business, will describe how it is possible to measure any “intangible,” to think of risk like an actuary, and how to look at investment portfolios from a risk/return point-of-view.

    Stephen Parry is an international leader and strategist on the creation of service enterprises that are adaptive, innovative and engaging. This presentation based on the most recent research from work psychology will provide counter intuitive insights into the ‘industrial management’ mind set, its impact on the design of work and management behaviors.

Lean Kanban North America will feature nine renowned authors on the Main Stage, plus more than 40 invited speakers on six tracks that include Economics & Risk; Kanban at Scale; Kanban Foundations; Psychology & Sociology; Simulation, Games & Measurement; and The Change Agent.

In addition to the main program, LKNA13 authors, speakers and thought leaders will lead full-day Lean Tutorials – one-day or two-day interactive classes designed to provide participants with practical, hands-on knowledge they can use right away on Lean projects.

Attendees will also enjoy an additional 18 presenters with LKNA’s exciting and unique crowd-sourced Ignite talks that will drive the Lean Kanban conversation forward.

Conferences in the Lean Kanban global series provide unique training presentations and focus on helping IT groups within organizations to lower risk and improve predictability of delivery. For more information about the global Lean Kanban conference series endorsed by Lean-Kanban University, please contact Janice Linden-Reed, Lean-Kanban University Vice President of Marketing, at janice(at)leankanbanuniversity(dot)com.
