We recently attended HCP in Columbus, Ohio, where I had the opportunity to speak for five minutes in front of the providers in attendance. See a short video clip below. When I thought about what I wanted to convey in such a short amount of time, I reflected on the year we have had. Rhazdrugs has won Premier’s Innovation award, and I have won the Stevie Award’s Thought Leader of the Year. 

The accreditation inspectors are making the rounds, and this time, queries also include USP <800>. In other words, it’s go time! Are you ready? 

Founder of USP <800> Compliance, Healthcare Worker, Patient Safety Technology Provider Honored Among Top Women Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs 

I think I’ve just come down (barely) from the experience at the Premier Breakthroughs Conference. We were honored that our Rhazdrugs hazardous drug safety solution was one of 10 revolutionary healthcare technologies recognized by Premier, Inc. at the Innovation Celebration. The journey to this moment has been challenging, transformative, and, most of all, rewarding.

Most commonly known as hCAP, the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey is a national, standardized, publicly reported survey of hospital patients’ perspectives on their hospital care.

We’re back with our next story in Rpharmy Rounds. Today, we want to tell you a story about QR codes. Do you all remember the commercial during Super Bowl LVI with the bouncing QR code like a DVD logo meme? Based on this article, it was so popular that it crashed the app.

Rhazdrugs Recognized As Groundbreaking Healthcare Technology That Protects Healthcare Workers from Hazardous Drug Exposure

We have seen a lot of spreadsheets, PDFs, documents, and more in our many Rhazdrugs builds. One thing we’ve learned that is universal is you can have the very best policies and hazardous drug handling information, but if it isn’t easy to access and easy to understand, who is it serving? Your hazardous drug handling information is about more than USP <800> compliance; you’re protecting your employees.

I’ll stop singing through the screen and welcome you back to the next Rpharmy Rounds.  Today, we wanted to share a story that gave us a laugh.   

We spoke with a client recently who is the “approver” for his health system’s hazardous drug list. This health system has over 300 hazardous drugs on its Rhazdrugs site and adds 10-50 new drugs every year. Since joining us as an Rhazdrugs customer back in 2019, they’ve already completed their initial annual approval process, as this is part of our build. 

Our conversations with customers and prospects consistently reveal crucial information about the challenges in protecting healthcare workers from hazardous drug exposure. A recent discussion with a major healthcare system, with over 17,000 employees and 3,000 affiliated physicians, highlighted their impressive proactive approach to safety.
