Maasziekenhuis Pantein will use the MedEye medication safety system to perform a second check of medication for patients. The system verifies the medication just prior to administration to the patient. It supports nurses in the medication process and allows them to digitally verify medication at the patient's bedside, thereby increasing the safety when administering the medication. The system thus fits in well with the hospital's strategy to provide safe care and relieves the burden on nurses.
Second check of medication
The introduction of a digital, closed-loop medication process makes the administration of medicines safer. In addition to the latest digital check of medication, MedEye is also used to take over the required second check by a second nurse for parenteral medication(medicines that are injected). MedEye ensures that any errors are recognized in time so that they do not reach the patient. This makes the administration of tablets but also of parenteral medication demonstrably safer and easier. An innovative way to increase medication safety in the hospital and relieve nurses.
Chairman of the Board Pauline Terwijn is enthusiastic about the development: “MedEye supports the good quality of care that we, as Maasziekenhuis Pantein, stand for. The chance of medication errors decreases. Moreover, MedEye largely replaces the four-eyes principle, which reduces the burden of registration and the workload for nurses. As a result, they can better focus on direct patient care. ”
