Motorola Medication Administration Solutions
Without mobility and bar coding at the point of care, there are
many steps in medication administration that are not only time
consuming, but also present many opportunities for error. With a
Medication Administration solution, nurses can scan the patient
wristband, the medication and their own ID card in seconds, ensuring
that the right patient receives the right medication, the right
dose, by the right route, at the right time. Medication
Administration Solutions from Motorola and our partners enable
nurses to administer medication more quickly and accurately, helping
to avoid costly errors.
Motorola Medication Administration Highlights and Benefits
Reduce mistakes and increase patient
safety.
Here’s how it works:
The nurse scans the patient wristband, the medication and their own
ID card to ensure that the right patient receives the right
medication and right dose, by the right route, at the right time.
Since the patient’s record is updated in real time, the next shift
can always see medication that was administered by the prior shift.
The danger of a patient receiving a duplicate dose of medication at
shift change due to a lag time in manual data entry is eliminated.
Here’s how it USED TO work:
The nurse must check the kardex system at the central nursing
station for orders, transcribe that information via paper and pen,
compare the handwritten information to the patient chart, check the
patient wristband to verify identity, and then transcribe the
updated information back into the kardex system at the nurses’
station.
Benefits of mobility:
- Reduce the possibility of human error by being able to
access the most current data about patients and their
medications.
- Avoid second-guessing and bedside redundancies with bar code
technology.
- Allow medical professionals to spend more time on high-value
patient care by capturing vitals and charting treatment
information instantaneously with mobile computers.
- Improve the quality of care as well as save money and time
by avoiding costly medical mistakes.
- Gain consistency in patient care.
