MT10 Clinical, Operational, and Economic Impacts of Automated Medication Dispensing Cabinets in Perioperative and Ambulatory Surgical Center Settings: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Implementation of automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) technology in hospitals has shown to improve clinical, operational, and economic outcomes. Safety and professional organizations recommend the adoption of ADCs in outpatient care areas, such as Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) and perioperative settings outside of the hospital. However, implementation of this technology in these settings has lagged significantly. The objective of this study was to assess the documented impact of ADCs in ASCs and perioperative care areas.
