UCSF Medical Center Opens Robotic Pharmacy to Improve Patient Safety

[fitnesus]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You believed to be the nation's most comprehensive facility using robotic technology and electronics to prepare and track medications with the goal of improving patient safety

[lupabuatchannel]

I Really Like The Video From Your Medical Center has opened a new automated hospital pharmacy believed to be the nation's most comprehensive facility using robotic

" ITS A TRAP!"

[Shalek]

This is wonderful. Two questions. How does the robot know which medication to fetch and how many errors did humans commit before? Thanks.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

a greater risk for patient health is TAKING the prescribed medication.

whats that?...50,000 deaths a year with direct link causality from taking the "prescribed medication"...

[Shalek]

@JonathanSeagullUtube An even greater risk for patient health is not taking the prescribed medication. If you meant that a lot more studies should be carried out to make prescription/medication safer then I agree.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@Shalek 106,000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications. How many doctors would be in practice if they actually assisted clients to become healthy ? When being schooled, do doctors study health and vitality or sickness and death ? How many medical schools are sponsored by big pharma? "studies should be carried out to make prescription/medication safer" is an understatement...ever heard of Sister Kinny or Dr Simoncini etc. Scientific reports are trumped by "medical" reports.

[Shalek]

@JonathanSeagullUtube Half of your comment rises some good questions that may be worth considering. It's no excuse however to promote pseudoscience. Lastly, so what, doctors/scientists have been wrong before, the step to follow is to show how they are wrong, again, it's not an excuse to indulge in pseudoscience/untested therapies.

Google: Be Wary of Simoncini Cancer Therapy.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@Shalek So much of the "medicine" is MEANT to be piousness: 1 to 5% of "good" medications out there. And caring doctors. Only "be wary" of Dr. Simoncini ? ...have you ever asked a "mainstream doctor" what cancer is ? "Cancer: a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues" thats what it does, but what is it ? Dr Simoncini provides the best theory of what cancer is that I have heard of. Sorry, 106,000 deaths/year is not excusable.

[Shalek]

@JonathanSeagullUtube That doesn't mean it doesn't work. You haven't heard real explanations. Versus how many deaths without medication? Anyway, go do some research.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@Shalek Duh uh if 106,000 people die a year its NOT WORKING ! No research required...

You'd get better results if everyone was prescribed weed... I cant wait for science to "take over" the medical community. Printed hearts, bladders custom grown, your own skin cells into stem cells etc. and REAL chemical alterations on the molecular level, not piousness designed to keep people "on the meds" for weeks months and lifetimes

[Shalek]

@JonathanSeagullUtube No research required? Blocked retard.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@Shalek duh, uh if the meds are supposed to make you better and they kill you, uh duh they dont work duh uh

[LunchAnderson]

@JonathanSeagullUtube It's "poisonous". And what your pseudoscience-infected brain does not understand is that without medication, EVEN MORE people would die. So fuck you, asshole.

Jonathan surely won't do it, but if anyone else wants to read a good text about why he's wrong, google "science based medicine death by medicine".

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

@LunchAnderson "science based medicine IS death by medicine". There is a fraction of pharmaceuticals that have very little side effects and that provide help so "people would not die". I understand your closeness to the industry has your mind focused just on mainly the chemical aspects/reactions dis ease.

[JonathanSeagullUtube]

Proof the drugs are not working = 106,000 people die a year while taking the drugs = the DRUGS ARE NOT WORKING TO SAVE THE 106,000 PEOPLE !

[maceelk2]

Wow, youtube comments never disappoint do they. While error may not be completely removed from the system, these robots will still drop the error factor by enormous amounts. Everyone of those old errors committed by humans is a potential fatal mistake. Dropping that even by 10% is worth all the cost it takes to achieve; Even more so if it was your child or mother was the one sitting in that recovery room.

[DarthKap]

LOL, how does this solve human error? A human has to program the dammed thing to begin with. :sigh: Goverment waste at its finest.

[yes4me]

@DarthKap Yeah I agree that human error is not 100% gone. At least the human factor is gone when it comes to picking and counting the correct medication, updating the inventory, updating the system, and not infecting the medication with bacteria from your hands is gone. Personally, I use a lot of computer programs at my work, and computer really helps reduce mistakes.

I think UCSF is a private teaching hospital. Intelligent Hospital Systems is private company.

[DarkFrostX5]

there goes more jobs T_T

[solidiquis1]

So what's going to happen to Pharmacists!!? I was planning on becoming one goddammit

[bluhotaru]

@solidiquis1 Nothing. The video has someone say that the Pharmacist could use their "intellect" to make ensure the patient is taking the right drug at the right dose. The purpose of the machine is to prevent error.

[bradye21]

How many millions in research and development AND actual production costs for this thing? It will take 200 years to make the money back for the one person they laid off in exchange for this robot.

[RRJackson]

Woo-Hoo! Does this mean I eventually won't have to sit in the Walgreens drive-through for 20 minutes anymore? "How long can it take for her to find my prescription? I called it in yesterday! Hey, this isn't complete! Where's the rest of the prescription!?!?!"

[rsxlover100]

Go engineers! Did we just replace pharmacists? Pharmacy is soooo labor intensive....haha doctors watch out...biomedical engineering will replace you too!

[AnthTrinh]

Cute girl alert @ 3:03

[bradye21]

@AnthTrinh Shes just ok

can't counsel you though or answer questions~

This is very cool technology, and I can see the benefits, however you can never really eliminate human error. Also what about machine error? I'm sure they would have secured access to the robot, but imagine if it started prescribing viagra to people at random.

[RRJackson]

@nanakeyks Sometimes I'd rather have Viagra than my Adderall. "Hey, instead of being less hyperactive, what if I'm just ready for some lovin'...BABY C'MERE! I think you need to call in sick today. Hells yes!!!"

[Shini1984]

Thats all great but who controls what patient should have what pill? I bet its not yet automated.

And why not gather several pills and put them in a "10 AM" bag? I've only seen 1 pill per bag, which generates loads of waste, unless you reuse them (both bags and stickers).

[AndyMacProGamer]

@Shini1984 I agree what a waste unless they reuse the bags somehow melt them down and remake them. But I doubt that. This would be helpful to count out larger amounts then just one fucking pill per person.

[AmericanMeltdown1]

That is soooo cool!
