Medication Management with AI in a Hospital Pharmacy
summary
Hospital pharmacy runs 3,000 medication SKUs with about $3 million on hand and 250,000 units moving between 50+ locations, using transaction logs from automated dispensing cabinets and a contracted AI optimizer to set PAR levels, redeploy near‑expiry stock and forecast demand in real time. The system cuts stockouts by 50%, reduces expired doses from 2,800 to 470 per month and saves roughly $120,000 while freeing technician FTEs and lowering administration delays and errors.
