Some of the best conversations in healthcare happen in five minutes.

That was certainly the case at ICHP (Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists).

This regional conference brings together hospital pharmacists and health-system leaders who are deeply engaged in improving medication safety, compliance, and operational accountability.

A highlight this year was the reverse expo, where we had the opportunity for several focused five-minute conversations with hospitals across Illinois.

Those short meetings often move conversations forward quickly — introducing the platform, advancing an existing discussion, or sometimes helping finalize the next step in an opportunity.

It was also the first time many attendees saw the upcoming 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺™ (𝗦𝗪𝗦) in person. The response was strong. Pharmacy leaders immediately recognized the value of bringing controlled substance waste management closer to the point of care while improving visibility and reconciliation.

Together with the 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺®, these innovations continue to expand the Codonics platform supporting the full workflow:

Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation

We’re proud to support and the hospitals it represents by participating as an exhibitor and continuing the conversation around safer medication practices.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see the platform in action.

𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 — great energy on the show floor today.

Our team just sent in these photos from the booth, and it’s been a steady stream of conversations with anesthesiologists throughout the day.

One thing is clear so far:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺™ (𝗦𝗪𝗦) is stealing the show.

Clinicians immediately understand the problem it’s designed to solve — controlled substance waste that happens quickly, at the point of care, but often leaves pharmacy responsible for the reconciliation later.

The conversations today have been thoughtful, practical, and exactly the kind we hope for at meetings like this.

If you’re at the meeting, there’s still time — the show floor is open until 5 PM.

Stop by and see the 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 platform in action:

Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲.

A medication is drawn up.
A label goes on.
A patient is depending on it being right.

That moment matters.

For years, the 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺® (𝗦𝗟𝗦) has helped anesthesia providers verify the medication in hand, print a TJC-compliant syringe label, and document the administration into AIMS systems like Epic and Cerner.

Now the platform is expanding to support the final step in the workflow — controlled substance waste.

The upcoming 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺™ (𝗦𝗪𝗦) is designed to bring visibility to controlled substance waste at the point of care — the moment it happens.

If you're attending the 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 meeting in New Orleans this week, come see what’s next for the Codonics medication safety platform.

Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation.

Safe surgery starts with a label.

This recent article highlights a reality we’ve known for years — medication safety in the perioperative environment is still heavily dependent on human vigilance, manual documentation, and fragmented workflows.

In the OR, seconds matter. Accuracy matters more.

𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺® (𝗦𝗟𝗦) was never “just a printer.” It is an FDA-cleared Class II medication safety system designed to bring standardization, visual and audible verification, and TJC-compliant labeling to anesthesia workflows — helping providers prepare medications safely and document them accurately.

The label is not the end point.
It is the connector.

Through a barcode today — and RFID tomorrow — the SLS platform supports:

Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation.

Because when systems work together, providers can focus on what matters most: the patient.

Medication safety doesn’t improve with reminders alone. It improves when workflow and technology align.

If this article resonates with you, we’d welcome the conversation.

In healthcare, reliability is often invisible.

When systems work well, no one notices. There’s no headline. No announcement. Just care delivered safely, consistently, without disruption.

In the operating room, that kind of reliability matters. Medication preparation, documentation, and reconciliation all happen in environments where seconds carry weight.

Safety isn’t a single checkpoint. It’s a continuum.

At Codonics, we’ve always believed that medication safety should be built into the workflow — not layered on top of it. Standardization, verification, and thoughtful integration aren’t enhancements. They’re responsibilities.

Trust in healthcare isn’t earned through volume.
It’s earned through consistency.

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮 — we’re excited to meet you.

For the first time, Codonics is bringing the 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺® Platform to Maine anesthesiologists — built specifically for how anesthesia teams work at the point of care.

See how one integrated workflow supports safer anesthesia from
Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation

• Audible and visual confirmation ensures the drug in hand during preparation
• No handwritten labels — TJC-compliant syringe labels printed on demand
• Medication is electronically documented in the AIMS at administration
• Controlled substance waste is identified, measured, assayed, wasted, and reconciled immediately following the case
• All steps happen at the point of care — without disrupting clinical workflow

Stop by our booth to see how a single platform helps reduce risk, eliminate manual steps, and bring clarity to the anesthesia workflow.

Safe surgery starts with a label — and extends through the entire case.

01/21/2026

Medication safety doesn’t fail because people don’t care. It fails when systems rely too heavily on memory, workarounds, or perfect conditions.

Operating rooms are complex, fast-moving environments. Clinicians are managing risk in real time — often under pressure, often with incomplete information.

That’s why safety has to be designed into the workflow. Standardization. Visual and audible verification. Systems that support the way care is actually delivered.

At Codonics, this belief has guided our work for decades — not as a feature strategy, but as a responsibility.

Because in healthcare, reliability is what earns trust.

01/12/2026

Healthcare doesn’t need more disconnected tools.
It needs systems that work together.

In high-risk environments like the operating room, medication safety isn’t a single step—it’s a continuum. From preparation, to administration, to waste and reconciliation, every handoff matters.

At 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀, our focus has always been on building medication safety into the workflow—not bolting it on after the fact. That means standardization, visual and audible verification, and integration that supports clinicians when the stakes are highest.

This philosophy has guided our evolution from a single solution to a platform approach—one designed to support safer care, operational efficiency, and long-term trust.

Because in healthcare, progress isn’t about what’s newest.
It’s about what works—consistently, reliably, and at scale.
