Becker’s Healthcare is proud to honor these trailblazing women in health IT for their unwavering commitment to improving healthcare. Their leadership and innovation are essential to the continued success of their organizations and the industry as a whole.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be included among such an extraordinary group of women, all of whom share a deep commitment to advancing healthcare through technology,” said Paxton. “Over the past 30 years in this industry, I’ve witnessed a remarkable evolution, not just in the innovations that are transforming patient care and worker safety, but in the growing influence of women in healthcare IT. It’s truly gratifying to see the intelligence, leadership, and ingenuity that women bring to these essential roles being acknowledged by Becker’s Healthcare.”
As CEO of Rpharmy, Paxton leads the company’s mission to enhance patient and healthcare worker safety through innovative, user-centered technology. What makes Laura Paxton stand out in healthcare IT isn’t just her technology—it’s her relentless focus on solving problems that others overlook. Paxton has pioneered tools that protect both patients and healthcare workers while building a culture of safety, equity, and practical innovation.
Under her direction, Rpharmy developed Formweb, a cloud-based formulary and safety platform that consolidates high-alert medications, REMS data, Black Box warnings, and facility-specific protocols into a single source of truth. More than just a formulary, it serves as a communication hub for safer medication practices across health systems.
Paxton also led the creation of Rhazdrugs, the first comprehensive software dedicated to hazardous drug safety and USP <800> compliance. This solution was developed through constant engagement with nurses, pharmacists, and health system leaders who voiced concerns about the lack of clear, accessible safety guidance.
