MEDCHART
Reducing medication errors, improving patient outcomes.
Improved patient outcomes and the significant reduction of Adverse Drug Errors (ADEs) are made possible with electronic medication management (eMM). eMM systems reduce clinical risk and improve medication safety, resulting in significant reductions in medication errors and ADEs. In addition, they eliminate inefficiencies for greater cost savings.
MedChart provides hospitals, clinics and aged-care facilities with an end-to-end eMM solution. It transforms medication management from a complex, time consuming manual and paper-based process, into an automated system that streamlines prescribing, clinical pharmacy review and administration processes, resulting in reduced risk, decrease in errors, increased efficiency and improved coordination between clinical teams.
Designed by clinicians, MedChart ensures adoption by staff is strong with users quickly realizing the benefits such as reduced task complexity and legibility of all prescriptions. MedChart is tried, tested and proven to reduce medication management errors and inefficiencies, leading to fewer ADEs and better, safer consumer care.
