New Metro® SecureRx™ MD System Improves Clinician Workflow, Medication Security and Visibility to Support Closing the Loop Between Pharmacy and the Patient Bedside.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (December 3, 2012) - Metro, a world leader in providing technology, storage and transport solutions for healthcare facilities, today announced their new Metro SecureRx MD System. Available exclusively on the Metro Flo Series of hybrid medication workstations, the SecureRx MD System communicates seamlessly with Metro MedDispense® Automated Dispensing Systems as well as other leading automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs) to improve the tracking, control and delivery of patient specific medications to the bedside. Metro will debut the new system at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition, December 2 - 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We’re extremely excited for customers to experience our medication management and point-of-care innovation at this year’s ASHP event. The SecureRx MD system enhances caregiver efficiency and overall improves clinician workflow by reducing the time lost continuously walking between the ADC and the Patient bedside,” said Rob Sobie, vice president of healthcare marketing at Metro. “By closing the loop between Pharmacy and the Patient - we deliver the on-demand intelligence, security and control needed to drive a step-change in healthcare facilities med management and delivery process globally.”
