Health Robotics Announces American Joint Venture With I.V.SOFT

Health Robotics today announced that it has embarked in a joint venture with i.v.SOFT in order to market, implement, and support its I.V. Workflow Engine and related software automation modules to hospitals and infusion centers in North America. One of its software modules (OncoCube) has already been installed and is being currently utilized at the University of Colorado Hospital [Denver], in addition to all- digital and totally integrated I.V. installations at La Maddalena Cancer Center in Palermo and Campus Biomedico University General Hospital in Rome.

While significant investments have already been made by North American vendors and hospitals alike applying technology in an attempt to reduce I.V. (intravenous) medication errors, these efforts have largely focused on the stand-alone phases of prescription [CPOE] and administration [Smart Infusion Pumps], without an integrated approach to I.V. Workflow and Medication Management that includes Admixture phase preparation errors, and without the capability of tying together all phases of I.V. Medication Management.
