PharMEDium Announces Availability of Pre-Filled Operating Room Perioperative Compounded Drugs
Date:12/3/2007

Aligns with National Quality/Patient Safety Initiatives; Geared to Reducing

Medication Errors, Enhancing Operating Room Efficiencies

LAKE FOREST, Ill., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- PharMEDium Services, LLC, the leading provider of outsourced hospital compounded sterile preparations, is offering availability of compounded pre-filled, perioperative anesthesia drugs, an effort devoted to reducing medication errors and improving OR efficiencies.
