Using a microcomputer to support an I.V. admixture service

Acquisition of a microcomputer and a high-speed printer enabled the authors' pharmacy to automate the production of I.V. additive labels. This automation freed 0.5 FTEs of pharmacy personnel time for other duties. This low-cost microcomputer and printer has proven to be sufficient equipment for the support of an I.V. admixture program with time-saving and cost-saving applications.
