Promoting safety, efficiency and accuracy.
Prescriptions can be administered within any appropriate environment, while providing several decision support options. Through utilisation of documented patient parameters, decision support aids the prescriber in safe and clinically appropriate prescribing practice. The care provider is then able to document a variety of information including medication details, adherence details, last dose date/time, and more.
Scanning a barcoded wristband ensures the right patient gets the right medication at the right time. The decision support available within the administration workflow helps provide safe and effective medications administration. These include early or late administration warning, dose too close warning, charting values or viewing result trends at the point of administration.
Whether a person is being discharged from hospital or they’re an outpatient, our solutions allow them easy access to the medication required. These workflows allow the nursing team to contact the pharmacists with the relevant prescription, as well as creating documentation for the patient so they can have a printed record for their own understanding and engagement that can be presented when required.
Cerner’s pharmacy solutions are designed to provide a unified, seamlessly integrated medication process. The solutions assist with extensive clinical checks, ensure integrated data flow across processes and support care providers with patient follow-up and therapy monitoring after discharge.
Cerner’s pharmacy solutions share the same electronic health record and database, meaning you have a real-time view of important clinical data, such as unverified orders, allergy updates and patient contextual alerts, in one place at most stages of the medication process. These safety features can help prevent medication errors before care providers reach the patient’s bedside.
