sense," he says. "What
did you spend on a
certain medication?
How many doses did
you administer in a
given period, and how
much of that went
unused? Then calcu-
late the same number
of patients treated
using the prefilled
cost, factoring out the
wastage, and look at
the difference. When
you take that differ-
ence in terms of an
annualized cost to the
board, it puts the value
of the technology
behind it out in front."
As for where to
begin, Mr. Karwoski
suggests starting with
"a top 3 to 6" com-
mon medications —
propofol, phenyle-
phrine and succinyl-
choline, for example
— that demonstrate
the greatest savings
