BD and Wellstar Launch AI-Powered Medication Management Partnership

The move targets fewer medication errors by pairing AI insights with EMR-linked barcodes.

Overview

  • BD and Wellstar announced Tuesday a partnership to connect BD Pyxis Pro dispensing and BD Alaris infusion pumps across Wellstar’s hospitals and care sites.
  • BD Incada, an AI analytics platform, will give pharmacy leaders system-wide inventory visibility with natural-language queries for quick answers to stock and waste trends.
  • Custom dashboards in Incada will turn raw data into clear actions that help ensure drug availability, cut medication waste, and ease staffing pressure.
  • Alaris EMR Interoperability will let nurses scan a barcode to send infusion orders from the electronic medical record to the pump and receive status updates back in the chart, reducing manual entry errors.
  • Wellstar will advise BD through its Strategic Development Council, and the nonprofit system’s scale in Georgia could make this a model for connected medication workflows.
