Baxa Corporation to Sponsor Customer-Requested DoseEdge(TM) Product Demonstrations Following Successful ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Baxa Corporation – a leading developer of medical device technology for the safe handling, preparation, packaging and administration of fluid medications – announces a new road show program featuring their leading-edge dose management software, DoseEdge.  Following Baxa Corporation's highly regarded presentation at the 2009 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Midyear Clinical Meeting in December, these programs allow customers who were unable to attend the Las Vegas meeting the opportunity to experience DoseEdge first-hand.

With DoseEdge, "The dose preparation process is much simpler than it was before.  It really gives the pharmacist the assurance that they're making the correct product, especially at the correct time," states Michael Culligan, Assistant Pharmacy Director at St. Francis Care in Hartford, CT.  Beginning in Dallas, TX on February 17th, customers interested in gaining improvements in their pharmacy workflow management and medication safety are encouraged to attend one of the two-hour sessions planned for an exclusive hands-on product demonstration and intimate Q&A with pharmacy efficiency and product experts.

The full road show program includes the following dates and locations: March 10 in Denver, CO; March 24 in Miami, FL (tentative); April 7 in New York, NY; April 21 in Orange County, CA; May 5 in Atlanta, GA; May 19 in Phoenix, AZ; June 2 in Raleigh/Durham, NC and June 16 in Chicago, IL.  Customers interested in attending one of these exclusive, invitation-only events are encouraged to RSVP for the event by contacting [email protected].  

In addition to the road shows, Baxa Corporation is sponsoring a Webinar program on March 25th at 1pm ET entitled "DoseEdge:  Changing Pharmacy Practice Through Dose Management."  Presented by Dennis Tribble, PharmD and Chief Technology Officer for Baxa Corporation, this one-hour presentation will provide a real-time product demonstration, for the customers who are unable to attend one of the nine scheduled road show dates, on how DoseEdge helps IV rooms run more efficiently by eliminating the most common reasons for drug preparation errors.
