Informatics & Automation

Our Approach

By uniting state-of-the-art automation with deep clinical expertise, Montefiore Einstein is redefining what precision, safety, and efficiency mean in medication management. In our oncology pharmacy, the APOTECAchemo robotic compounding system—used by only 14 health systems nationwide—prepares chemotherapy with unmatched accuracy in a fully enclosed, sterile environment. This technology not only safeguards clinicians but also ensures that every patient receives a treatment tailored exactly to their needs.

Beyond oncology, our integrated informatics create a closed loop of accountability. Epic-based systems track each medication from order to bedside, minimizing errors and guaranteeing full traceability. At the same time, advanced clinical analytics transform live patient data into actionable insights that guide formulary decisions, close safety gaps, and advance patient-centered strategies across the Montefiore Einstein health system.

Setting the Global Standard in Precision Medication Automation

We deploy exclusive technologies that redefine what’s possible in medication safety, accuracy, and efficacy.

Oncology precision: APOTECAchemo robots compound chemotherapy in a closed, sterile environment, reducing exposure and ensuring patient-specific dosing.
Microliter-level nutrition: Baxter Exacta-Mix systems prepare neonatal and pediatric nutrition with precision down to microliters, supporting the smallest, most fragile patients.
Rapid access in emergencies: KitCheck RFID automation verifies and replenishes critical medication trays in seconds, ensuring lifesaving drugs are available when every moment counts.
Closed-loop dispensing: BD Pyxis MedStations and Anesthesia Stations provide secure, real-time medication access directly at the point of care, reducing delays and errors.
Smart infusion safety: BD Alaris Smart Pumps, equipped with dose error reduction software, safeguard patients by catching potential infusion mistakes before they happen.
Error-proof preparation: Codonics Safe Labeling in procedural areas standardizes barcode labels and prevents mislabeling errors during high-pressure surgeries.
Automated inventory: BD carousels and Omnicell XR2 robotics optimize storage and retrieval, reducing waste and ensuring medications are always ready when needed.

Where Data Science Drives Medication Safety

Data only matters when it improves care. At Montefiore Einstein, our informatics systems turn complex information into real-time decisions that protect patients and empower clinicians.

Real-time analytics: By tracking medication outcomes and safety protocols, we enable instant, informed decision-making that keeps patients safer. Epic SlicerDicer technology provides immediate insights to pharmacy teams, allowing rapid response to emerging trends.
Evidence-based innovation: Our data-driven approach translates patient experiences into research-backed improvements in medication safety protocols and system-wide decision-making.
National collaboration: Epic Cosmos connects Montefiore Einstein pharmacists to de-identified data from health systems nationwide, fueling discoveries that benefit our patients and advance pharmacy practice everywhere.
