Consolidation is happening rapidly, emphasising the rising importance and scalability of hospitals and hospital groups. Serving patients no longer has conventional boundaries.
BD dispensing and infusion technologies leverage a common platform to support medication management through hospitals or a group of hospitals. The platform integrates BD technologies with HIT systems, enabling formulary interoperability, and centralised user and barcode management. The platform also captures, consolidates and analyses data to help improve decision making, efficiency and cost while standardising system management.
- Enables formulary interoperability via HIT integration
- Simplifies system user management via Active Directory
- Facilitates standardisation via data centralisation
- Supports BD technologies and functionality via a software-based interface engine
- Simplifies the pick process with barcode verification
- Helps pharmacists redeploy to clinical activity
- Provides near real-time reporting and analytics via one common access point
- Enables clinicians to access patient-specific med data upon admission*
- Reduces IT footprint and leverages investments
