About

Mohammed M. Almalki is a leading researcher in healthcare systems engineering and patient safety, with a particular focus on the intersection of pharmacy automation and clinical outcomes. His most-cited work, a 2025 systematic review on the effectiveness of pharmacy automation systems versus traditional systems in hospital settings, has already garnered 8 citations, underscoring its timely impact on evidence-based practice. Almalki’s research critically examines how automated dispensing, inventory management, and barcode-assisted verification can reduce medication errors—a persistent global challenge linked to adverse patient outcomes and rising healthcare costs. By systematically comparing automated and traditional pharmacy workflows, he provides actionable insights for hospital administrators and policymakers seeking to enhance operational efficiency and safety. His contributions are especially valuable in demonstrating that while automation significantly curbs human error, successful implementation depends on contextual factors such as staff training and system integration. Almalki’s work bridges engineering principles with clinical practice, offering a rigorous framework for evaluating health technologies. For students and researchers, his scholarship exemplifies how systematic reviews can translate complex data into clear, impactful recommendations for safer, more efficient healthcare delivery.
