About
Ana Herranz‐Alonso is a leading researcher in hospital pharmacy automation, specializing in the implementation and evaluation of robotic dispensing systems to enhance patient safety and operational efficiency. Her major contributions center on providing definitive evidence that robotic dispensing reduces medication errors, improves inventory management, and boosts staff satisfaction in outpatient hospital pharmacies—areas where data were previously scarce. Her landmark 2018 study, cited 72 times, demonstrated significant improvements in patient safety and workflow, establishing a benchmark for technology adoption in clinical settings. She also pioneered the use of prospective risk analysis methods to quantify safety impacts, as seen in her 2016 work, and conducted the first quantitative assessments of staff satisfaction post-implementation. Through these studies, Herranz‐Alonso has addressed critical barriers to robotic system adoption, offering robust evidence that goes beyond cost considerations. Her work is essential reading for researchers and practitioners seeking to integrate automation into pharmacy practice, providing actionable insights that improve both patient outcomes and workplace morale.
