Leicester’s Hospitals Awards Deenova a Unit Dose Pharmacy Automation 15 Year Contract
Deenova reported today it signed its first ever contract in the United Kingdom, and established operations in Europe’s second largest GDP health care market, with the NHS being the eight largest employer in the world. Deenova was selected by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust as the best solution amongst 8 of Deenova's competitors in United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Claire Ellwood, chief pharmacist at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, said: “We’re proud to be working with Deenova to deploy the first unit dose closed loop medicines management system in the UK. Every year, we administer millions of medication doses so it’s vital our processes are as safe and efficient as possible. The partnership with Deenova will increase automation within our medication processes helping to reduce errors and wastage as well as freeing up staff time for other care and tasks. After a successful pilot, we are pleased to start planning the roll out across our three hospitals. This programme will ensure the right medicines are in the right place at the right time and will undoubtedly improve care for our patients.”
Giorgio Pavesi, Managing Director of Deenova in Italy stated: “I am extremely proud of the teamwork and dedication exhibited by our employees and those of University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, proving to the health care industry the patient safety and economic advantages of Deenova´s unique Closed-Loop Medication Unit Dose management system and services, as evidenced by the report issued by the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) undertaking an 18 month evaluation of Deenova solutions. The published results included: 25% reduction in the consumption (and costs) of medicines; 40% reduction in the number of items held in the ward stock cupboard, 60% reduction in medicines wastage, and a reduction in missed doses due to medicine not available on wards from 10% to 1.2%, amongst other patient safety and economical benefits, leading to this award.”
Deenova plans to fulfill University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust’s contract award with delivery, installation and full service/support for 3 All-in-1 and 1 Acced Packaging Robots, 56 All-in-1 Station Medication Dispensing Robots, and more than 100 All-in-1 Trolleys with secure bed-side verification.
East Midlands AHSN Commercial Director, Tim Robinson, said: “A key role of AHSNs is to help build collaboration across sectors, and in particular to connect commercial innovators with the heath and care organisations that could benefit from their innovations. With this in mind, we welcome the progress made in Leicester - this is a great example of how the NHS and commercial sector can work in partnership. As well as the potential to benefit patients and generate efficiencies, we also welcome the investment into the East Midlands and the jobs this partnership will create.”
