Integration Drives Efficiency and Safety 

The Mediware approach ensures that all patient record-centric systems leverage a single database. Using computers, handhelds and wireless devices, each caregiver is updated in real time to the status of each patient order. If orders change or an alert is issued, all caregivers know instantly and can adjust before an adverse event occurs. Integrated tools-from physician ordering, to the pharmacy review, to bedside administration-eliminate common medication errors and deliver meaningful results toward patient safety.

Admission

Nurses access patient profiles through MediREC to create a current home prescription list which can be verified with the patient or a family member. During medication reconciliation, the clinician may review the patient's allergies and demographic information.

Orders  

Physician place medication orders via MediCOE, a computerized order entry system, for immediate pharmacist review.  MediCOE eliminates errors associated with handwritten orders and expedites timely order fulfillment.

Verification

Using the WORx pharmacy information system, the pharmacist enters or reviews orders, checks for interactions and defines alerts.

Administration & Documentation

Upon verification, the order enabled within MediMAR to guide the nurse through medication administration using barcode-driven patient and medication identification for five rights verification. Medication charting, including pain scale assessment, occurs automatically as a byproduct of administration.
