How a Louisiana hospital reclaimed 17 hours weekly in OR pharmacy workflows
Manual inventory tracking in operating rooms is time-consuming and risky — leading to stockouts, waste and compliance headaches.
This was the reality at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, where pharmacy teams spent nearly seven hours daily restocking medications across 42 anesthesia workstations.
To solve it, the hospital implemented RFID technology to automate tracking and tray exchanges — achieving a nearly 65% reduction in restocking time and freeing pharmacy staff for higher-value work.
This whitepaper unpacks the entire journey, from pre-implementation time studies to the strategies that drove measurable ROI and sustained improvements.
