Dispensing Sterile Drugs: Ensuring Safety and Precision in Nuclear Pharmacies
The Challenge:
Preparing and dispensing sterile drugs for intravenous injection requires strict adherence to safety protocols and aseptic techniques. Cardinal Health needed an engaging eLearning solution to train pharmacy staff on these critical processes, ensuring compliance with safety standards and minimizing the risk of contamination.

The Solution:
Working from a storyboard, I designed and developed the Dispensing Sterile Drugs eLearning course using Articulate Storyline. Key features include:
Working from a storyboard, I designed and developed the Dispensing Sterile Drugs eLearning course using Articulate Storyline. Key features include:
Interactive Modules: Clear, step-by-step guidance on working within a hood, maintaining a sterile work area, and preventing contamination risks.
Video Demonstrations: Filmed and edited instructional videos showcasing proper techniques, reinforcing learning through real-world examples.
Graphics and Visual Aids: Custom illustrations and visual overlays to highlight critical safety zones and aseptic procedures.
Engaging Design: Bright visuals and contextual alerts, such as avoiding air priming in syringes, effectively emphasize key safety points.
The result is a dynamic, easy-to-follow course that equips learners with the knowledge and skills to handle sterile drugs safely and confidently while meeting Cardinal Health's high safety and quality standards.
This is one of the videos I shot and edited for inclusion in this course. The nuclear pharmacist is demonstrating the proper procedure for dispensing a sterile medication.
