11 Future of IV Room Production

12 Future of IV Room Production Decision path at URMC to IV Room Technology System needs to deliver core needs All sterile compounded products must incorporate bar code scan verification of correct ingredients All sterile compounded products must incorporate gravimetric checks for accuracy (robotic and human production) Workflow must be managed through a central hub for distributing tasks Must have integration to erecord (Epic) Space constraints and expandability Diverse product line including incorporation of high-hazard production

16 Central Compounding What do the regulations and standards dictate (DQSA)? Will we be able to supply other facilities within our health care network? How will USP standards evolve (USP 800)?

17 Central Compounding - Regulations Hospitals Other Infusion Centers Medical Center Affiliated Centers In Network Or Enterprise Out of Network

18 Central Compounding - Justification To our Board of Directors Background on the dangers of CSP production Rationale Primary Goal - Insource CSP production to meet patient care needs and safety expectations within the URMC network Outsourcing to Compounding Pharmacies is not currently an option Our current clean room capacity is not able to meet our needs Insourcing allows us to control Q/A for a safe supply chain of CSPs. The costs of outsourcing (once an option) are likely to increase significantly due to new requirements We can reduce our operating costs compared to outsourcing

22 Central Compounding - Design Hospital Batch CSPs Ambulatory Batch CSPs Central Compounding Facility Oncology Infusion Centers (patient specific)

23 Next Phases in IV Automation at URMC Ø Interface to erecord system Ø High hazardous automated production Ø Semi-automated human CSP production Ø Goal to have 00% of IV production include bar code verification and gravimetric checks Ø Smart Pump integration

24 Lessons Learned " Focus of business plan must be patient safety " Site visits are critical sharing information " Drug shortages anticipate the unanticipated " Contingency planning " Be flexible in your design " Evaluate technology support (efficiency and safety factors) " Logistics (impact on BUD and testing)

25 The Paradigm Shift in CSP production From Wait and see what regulations will dictate Our State Board will not allow that Look for answers in Compounding Pharmacies To Apply and anticipate evolution of regulations Have the discussion with a patient safety focus Look for answers within your organization Assume Quality and Safety of Compounding Pharmacies under FDA regulation Wait for more sites to adopt technology (adapters) A financial model that improves safety Ensure and demonstrate Quality and Safety (Who is best positioned to accomplish this?) Be part of the early adoption (innovators) A safety model that have financial support
