Avera McKennan Hospital Adds Aethon TUGs

August 20, 2009

Avera McKennan Hospital, Sioux Falls, will introduce two new robotic workers to their ranks this fall.  Two Aethon TUG automated robotic delivery devices will spend most of the day delivering drugs to upper floors in the hospital from the Pharmacy Department in the basement, and may also deliver mail, meals and small equipment. The robots, leased for $4.50/hour each, will serve as a big time-saver for the Pharmacy Technicians who can make 20 or more hand deliveries a day.  Alleviating administrative and time-consuming processes creates more time for patient-care is a very positive thing indeed.  Learn more about Aethon's hospital delivery and asset management systems at www.aethon.com.
