About

Dr. Lifen Zhang is a leading researcher in clinical nursing innovation, with a primary focus on the integration of intelligent automation technologies to enhance patient safety and healthcare efficiency. Her most-cited work, “Application of Intelligent Intravenous Drug Dispensing Robot in Clinical Nursing” (2022), represents a pivotal contribution to the field of pharmaceutical nursing. In this study, Dr. Zhang systematically evaluated the performance of an intelligent intravenous drug dispensing robot against manual methods, examining critical metrics such as dispensing efficiency, residual drug volume, needle manipulation frequency, accidental hand-stab injury rates, and accuracy. Her findings demonstrated that robotic dispensing significantly reduces occupational hazards for nurses—particularly needlestick injuries—while improving precision and workflow consistency. Though early in its citation trajectory with 9 citations, this paper has already garnered attention as a foundational reference for the safe adoption of robotics in hospital pharmacy and nursing practice. Dr. Zhang’s work bridges the gap between engineering and bedside care, offering evidence-based guidance for hospitals transitioning to automated drug preparation systems. Her research underscores a commitment to leveraging technology to protect healthcare workers and optimize clinical outcomes, positioning her as an emerging voice in the digital transformation of nursing.
