About

Sheena Ewing is a leading researcher in the automation of sterile compounding and the safe handling of hazardous drugs, with a particular focus on chemotherapy preparation. Her most impactful work centers on the real-world performance and operational integration of first-generation robotic compounding systems. In her landmark three-year study of an i.v.-compounding robot, Ewing provided critical, longitudinal data on the accuracy, efficiency, and contamination control of automated systems in a hospital pharmacy setting. This work, which has garnered 39 citations, is frequently referenced by institutions evaluating the transition from manual to robotic compounding to reduce occupational exposure and medication errors. Ewing’s research is foundational for pharmacy practice leaders and health-system administrators seeking evidence-based justification for investing in automation. Her contributions have directly shaped best-practice guidelines for hazardous drug handling, making her a key voice in the movement toward safer, more reliable pharmacy workflows.
