We are thrilled to unveil to you our latest white paper on Return on Investment (ROI) for Closed Loop Medication Management (CLMM). This comprehensive document delves into the transformative potential of CLMM systems, showcasing how they enhance patient safety, streamline workflows, and achieve significant cost savings.

🔍 What to Expect: Our white paper provides you with an in-depth ROI approach for justifying an investment in a CLMM system, including:
1️⃣ Enhanced Patient Safety: CLMM systems significantly reduce medication errors at every step, from prescribing to administration, leading to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction.
2️⃣ Operational Efficiency: By automating repetitive tasks, CLMM systems allow healthcare staff to focus more on patient-centric activities, improving overall workflow efficiency and boosting staff morale.
3️⃣ Cost Savings: The reduction in medication errors, improved inventory control, and optimized staff time translate into substantial financial savings, making the investment in CLMM systems economically viable.
4️⃣ Regulatory Compliance: CLMM systems support hospitals in meeting legislative requirements and accreditation standards, ensuring compliance and enhancing the hospital’s reputation.
5️⃣ Data-Driven Decision Making: Access to real-time data on medication management enables better decision-making, targeted interventions, and continuous quality improvement initiatives.

In March 2024 we were excited to announce the launch of Asclepius, a pan-European initiative aimed at accelerating the digital transformation of medication management in hospitals. Our mission is to drive change through expert knowledge sharing, standardization, and best practices to make hospital pharmacy automation safer, more efficient, and cost-effective.
🌟 What to Expect?
Starting this month, November 2024, we will release several publications on critical topics developed by our expert sub-groups. These papers will serve as a toolbox for hospital pharmacists to plan and implement their Closed-Loop Medication Management (CLMM) projects. 📄💡
Our first publication, “Accelerating Digital Transformation of Medication Management in European Hospitals” has been published. Join the conversation on transforming hospital medication processes for the better! 💊

Ich stimme der Moderatorin … UND Chefapothekerin Anette Woermann … zu: ein Novum in Deutschland. Ich bin sicher, dass viele andere Krankenhausapotheker ihr auf dem Weg zu einer sicheren und effizienten Arzneimitteltherapie folgen werden!

Laatst werd mij gevraagd om een CV en een foto aan te leveren voor een presentatie op een symposium.
Eeeh … ik had er nog wel één … uit 2013! Daar lijk ik nog wel op, maar ik heb toch echt wel wat meer rimpeltjes dan elf jaar geleden. En om nou één van mijn hardloopselfies aan te leveren, dat leek me ook niet echt gepast.
Dus: op naar Zeker Zichtbaar voor een fotoshoot met Thijs Uyterwaal. Nu doe ik dat soort activiteiten niet van nature, maar ik vind het stiekem toch best leuk. Ook die filmpjes opnemen met een autocue was echt geinig om te doen.

Networking (verb) is not always about making a contact straight to the point. If you have networking as an internal driver, it can also arise spontaneously. And lebvert it yields good conversations, or renewed energy, or cool ideas or as you see a big smile! Even train delays then lose their negativity.
So it happened to me yesterday evening on the train on my way home when I met my contact … I think I can also say my friend … Björn Zeien in the ICE on my way back from project meetings in beautiful Bamberg.
Have you also had those casual, memorable moments on the train? I’d love to hear about them.
