MEDICATION WORKFLOW

Control and oversight of the medication process is a key priority in every healthcare organization. Especially in an era of staffing shortages, increasing administrative pressure and stricter regulations surrounding medication, the need for solutions that support the daily work of healthcare professionals is greater than ever.

Supportive technology is particularly crucial in the last 50 meters to the patient’s bedside. As more than 50% of medication errors occur during administration.

EFFICIENT, SAFE AND TRACEABLE

SmartCart supports the medication process and provides control over the final 50 meters to the patient’s bedside. With its unique smart medication drawers, medication is always traceable. SmartCart can also be expanded with a spot-check monitor for measuring vital signs, supporting the full nursing workflow in one integrated, safe and efficient solution.

The combination of hardware integrated with the SmartConnect software platform reduces manual steps, minimizes the risk of errors and enables nurses to focus on what truly matters: delivering high-quality patient care.
