Amerinet Choice Announces New Five- Year Exclusive Agreement with Health Robotics


Amerinet, a national healthcare solutions organization, announced a new fiver -year agreement with Health Robotics for its Sterile Compounding Automation solutions i.v.STATION, i.v.STATION ONCO, and i.v.SOFT Workflow Management solutions. Sterile compounding safety has been extensively covered in the news lately and regulatory oversight in the United States as increased.

"We are very excited to offer to our members Health Robotics' revolutionary solutions for sterile compounding automation," said Gary Freeman, vice president of pharmacy for Amerinet, according to a recent report. He added that IV patient safety and the reduction of costs are of extreme importance to Amerinet and its clients. This is especially apparent because of the recent trend in healthcare to in-source sterile medications.

Health Robotics’ robots are designed to prevent risks such as the deadly meningitis outbreak which happened last year in 2012. This is done by compounding IV doses in an enclosed ISO-5 chamber, with a variety of patient safety checks that help prevent human errors, which is the most common source of medication contamination and other medical mishaps.

"We are pleased indeed to have been exclusively selected by Amerinet Choice, for the provision of IV Robotics and IV Workflow solutions to their 3,100 member hospitals and more than 60,000 other healthcare providers," said Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics’ executive vice president and board member.

Amerinet collaborates with acute and non-acute care providers to produce and provide unique solutions through their guidance, ongoing support and performance improvement resources. With improved product standardization and utilization, Amerinet enriches healthcare delivery for its members and communities by gaining alliances that help lower costs and raise revenue.

Health Robotics was founded in 2006. Health Robotics is a key player in supplying life critical intravenous medication robots, which it supplies to over 360 hospital installations in five continents.
