This timely report provides hospital managers with actionable strategies to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and patient safety.<\/p>\n<p>Medication errors and inefficiencies in manual processes are persistent challenges in European hospitals. The Guide underscores how digitalisation, through tools like Automated Dispensing Cabinets (ADCs) and Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA), can streamline operations, mitigate risks, and improve clinical outcomes. It highlights transformative solutions, including inventory robots for stock management, gravimetric preparation for dosing precision, and real-time data systems for seamless communication across departments.<\/p>\n<p>The report is structured to assist healthcare managers through each stage of digital transformation\u2014from readiness assessment to post-implementation optimisation. It identifies barriers such as high costs, resistance to change, and technical integration issues, offering tailored strategies to overcome them. The guide also aligns these innovations with EU policies, including the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the Pharmaceutical Strategy, ensuring compliance while leveraging funding and policy support. The guide concludes with five detailed appendices, providing practical tools and resources to support implementation.<\/p>\n<p>EHMA calls on EU institutions and healthcare stakeholders to prioritise digitalising hospital medication management. By adopting these solutions, hospitals can safeguard against medication shortages, reduce errors, and enhance patient care while driving innovation and sustainability in European healthcare systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EHMA&#8217;s new &#8216;How-To Managers&#8217; Guide&#8217; offers a detailed roadmap for European hospitals to digitalise medication management, enhancing patient safety and operational efficiency while aligning with EU policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New report on digitalising medication management in European hospitals - EHMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover EHMA&#039;s &#039;How-To Managers&#039; Guide&#039; on digitalising medication management in European hospitals.
