About

Anthony Boyd is a leading authority in the advancement of intravenous (IV) pharmacy automation, with a focused research agenda on improving the safety, efficiency, and quality of oncology medication preparation. His major contributions center on the critical evaluation and implementation of robotic and gravimetrics-assisted workflow (TAWF) systems. Boyd’s landmark paper, "Critical Evaluation of Pharmacy Automation and Robotic Systems: A Call to Action" (2018, 38 citations), serves as a foundational text, urging the field to adopt rigorous standards for these technologies. He has directly compared IV robotics to TAWF platforms, demonstrating how gravimetric quality assurance can validate robotic compounding, and has shown that advanced preparation of oncology medications can significantly reduce patient turnaround times in outpatient infusion centers. Boyd also convened the "Cleveland Clinic International IV Robotics Summit" (2021), a notable achievement that brought together global experts to define the future of sterile compounding. His work is essential reading for any pharmacy professional or researcher seeking to understand the evidence behind the automation revolution in IV preparation.
