Becton Dickinson teams with Henry Ford Health on robotic pharmaceutical solution

Becton Dickinson (BDX) announced a pharmacy automation partnership with Henry Ford Health to develop the health system pharmacy of the future, with an initial focus on a robotic solution that will enable patients to pick up select prescriptions at their convenience – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Through this first-of-its-kind collaboration in the U.S., BD and Henry Ford Health will develop multiple applications of the BD Rowa Vmax, a pharmacy automation robot. The first deployment will enhance the prescription retrieval processes at Henry Ford Health’s hospital-based community pharmacies in Southeast and Central Michigan as part of their ongoing commitment to innovation and patient-centered care.
