A groundbreaking initiative to enhance medication safety within the London Ambulance Service (LAS) delivering outstanding results and a transformative impact on LAS operations.
The primary objective of the project was twofold: To ensure the safe storage and administration of medications and to drive cost savings by reducing drug wastage. Through the integration of advanced temperature monitoring (ATMS) technology the aim was to fortify LAS's commitment to patient care, while simultaneously optimising resource allocation.
Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency: Previously, a large quantity of drugs were discarded as a result of storage temperature uncertainty. With 38,584 hours saved annually by introducing automated temperature monitoring across 53 sites, the estimated labour cost saving (based on a wage of £10.42 per hour) amounts to approximately £402,024.88 per year.
