Case Study: Brigham and Women’s Hospital achieves 100% pharmacy restocking accuracy with KitCheck

Brigham and Women’s Hospital reaches 100% accuracy with Kit Check

Brigham and Women’s Hospital faced a significant challenge with its manual process for restocking pharmacy kits, which was labor-intensive and highly error-prone. Field data showed error rates ranging from 5% to 35%, even when kits were double-checked by pharmacists and technicians, creating potential patient safety risks and inefficiencies. To address this, the hospital partnered with vendor Kit Check to implement an automated solution.

Kit Check's solution, which utilizes RFID medication tracking, automated the restocking process to enhance both safety and operational efficiency. The implementation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital resulted in the hospital achieving 100% accuracy in its kit restocking. This eliminated the previous error rates, cut down on drug waste, and significantly sped up the pharmacy's restocking operations.
