Medicines management
Medications form a part of almost every care setting, making an integrated Medicines Management platform a vital tool.
The CareFlow Medicines Management system is a closed loop platform, covering Electronic Prescribing, Pharmacy and Medicines Administration, that works across a wide range of care areas, including acute, mental health and community - providing an ‘ICS ready’ solution. Our intuitive system includes functionality such as simple and complex infusions, chemotherapy and controlled drugs across a variety of settings, including critical care.
Our market-leading product is deployed in more than 200 Trusts, Healthboards and hospitals in the UK, Europe and South Africa. Integrated into the CareFlow EPR, CareFlow Medicines Management provides a complete end-to-end solution with sophisticated medicines clinical decision support included as standard. Integrated data capture, an updated view of any dosage or regime alterations and real-time generation of clinical audits and customised reports are just some of the features.
Legible prescriptions, dispensing and administration and the ability to request and order medicines from the ward ensure the patient’s medicines are correctly administered at the right time. CareFlow Medicines Management provides clinicians with real-time information on a patient’s medicines throughout their inpatient stay from clerking on admission medicines through to prescribing take home medicines.
Unlike many other EPMA systems, CareFlow Medicines Management enables the entire drug chart to be viewed on a single screen, complete with the latest lab results and drug schedules, with patient histories accessible at a keystroke. No need to rekey prescription data at discharge; it is available to download straight from the system.
The comprehensive controlled drug management platform is designed for use by NHS and healthcare staff throughout all areas within hospitals where controlled drugs are stored, including pharmacy, wards and theatres. This provides hospitals with a completely paperless solution for their controlled drug processes.
