About

Irene Kraemer is a leading voice in the advancement of automated pharmacy practice, with her research squarely focused on the safety, efficiency, and future of intravenous (IV) compounding through robotics. Her most impactful work stems from her role as a principal organizer of the Cleveland Clinic International IV Robotics Summit, a landmark event that convened global experts to assess the current state and chart the desired future of robotic IV preparation. Kraemer’s major contribution lies in synthesizing these expert discussions into a seminal 2021 proceedings paper, which serves as a critical roadmap for the field. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, is not merely a report but a foundational document that identifies key barriers, best practices, and technological needs for widespread adoption. By bridging the gap between clinical pharmacy and engineering, Kraemer is helping to standardize a process that dramatically reduces medication errors and contamination risks. Her efforts are instrumental in moving the profession from manual, error-prone compounding toward a safer, more reliable automated future, establishing her as a key architect of modern sterile compounding standards.
