MediSystem Pharmacy invested heavily on technology with only one objective in
mind, that is, to improve staff productivity and efficiency at the facilities
we service so that staff can focus on their primary duties – caring for their
residents.
Throughout our history, we have transformed new technologies into useful
everyday tools for skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. We were the
FIRST in the industry to move from an era of administering medications from
individual blister packs to multi-dose packaging strips. This innovative form
of packaging not only greatly reduces the med-pass times, but more
importantly, decreases the error rate tremendously.
We were also the FIRST in the industry to adopt the innovative digital pen
technology in the transmission of physician orders from the facilities to our
pharmacies. Since the inception of the digital pen technology in 2004, the digital
pen ordering system has been deployed in over 95 percent of all our
customers. The digital pen ordering system has now become the industry
standard for physician order transmissions.
In 2006, another huge step was made by the introduction of the digital pen
based electronic MAR (digiMAR)
system. Not only does this system have all the benefits of the computer-based
electronic MAR system, but at the same time it has the advantages of being
extremely simple to use and easy to maintain.
The pen technology will continue to be used extensively in all areas of
pharmacy-facility applications such as Quarterly Review (digi3MR), Med-check
Assessment, Tamiflu dosage calculation and inter
pharmacy-facility communications.
And the innovation and commitment never stops.
