Inside the pharmacy overhaul that saved Texas Children's millions
Manual inventory processes once cost Texas Children's Hospital millions annually in drug waste and inefficiencies.
To close costly blind spots and gain control over medication use, the system implemented RFID-enabled pharmacy automation. The result: real-time visibility into inventory levels, expiration dates and purchasing trends — and a pharmacy that now contributes to the bottom line.
This case study explores how one of the nation's largest pediatric hospitals used automation, analytics and cross-functional alignment to turn a chronic cost center into a margin driver.
