BD: Safeguarding Our Smallest Patients: Technology-Driven Solutions for Safer IV Compounding

On World Patient Safety Day, I am deeply honored to see my daughter Emily’s story and my ongoing work with the Emily Jerry Foundation referenced in BD’s important blog post: Safeguarding Our Smallest Patients: Technology-Driven Solutions for Safer IV Compounding.

This year’s theme, safe care for every newborn and child, resonates profoundly with me. The smallest patients face the biggest risks, and as Emily’s father, I know the devastating impact of preventable medication errors.

I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on this project with my friend Craig Greszler, Associate Director of Medical Affairs at BD. For over a decade, the Emily Jerry Foundation has been proud to partner with BD, a company that has worked tirelessly to develop clinically proven technology “tools” and systems that dramatically reduce the probability of human error creeping into pharmacy and clinical workflows.

Craig and his amazing team at BD share the same passion I do: ensuring these proven technologies are no longer viewed as optional, but rather adopted as the true standard of care. When that happens, we will significantly improve medication safety and, most importantly, save countless lives.
I’m grateful to BD for keeping patient safety as the north star in healthcare—and for their unwavering commitment to helping us move closer to a world with zero preventable harm.
