Englewood, Colo., March 10, 2009 – Baxa Corporation, a leading developer of technology for the safe handling, packaging and administration of fluid medications, announces the launch of a targeted campaign recognizing patient safety. The year-long “Culture of Safety” campaign is intended to emphasize the need for a true cultural change in attitudes and practices geared towards patient and medication safety.
