Smart medication management for nursing homes.
One live electronic Kardex that connects nursing staff, GPs and pharmacies, so every resident’s medication is safer, fully traceable and quicker to manage.
- HIQA-compliant Electronic Kardex and eMAR
- Remote GP prescribing with Healthmail integration
- Monthly pharmacy orders in one click
Barcode scanning for every non-Tosho medication
Regular medications arrive in clinically checked Tosho pouches. Medications supplied outside the pouches accounted for a significant proportion of incorrectly recorded administrations. Now every administration of a non-Tosho medication is recorded by scanning its barcode, so the correct medication is selected for the correct resident.
-
Scan to recordEvery non-Tosho administration is recorded with a barcode scan, not a manual selection.
-
Right medication, right residentThe scan confirms the medication selected matches the resident being given it.
-
Fewer recording errorsCloses the gap where a significant share of incorrect recordings were found.
One system for everyone involved in medication care
Nursing staff, GPs, pharmacies and management all work from the same live record, so nobody is waiting on paperwork.
