Alcidion the parent company to Patientrack has partnered with Better by Marand to offer its electronic prescribing and medicines administration (ePMA) to NHS Trusts.
The company said the partnership will complement the Patientrack patient safety platform and help hospitals tackle medication errors.
Alcidion will resell the OPENeP electronic prescribing and medicines administration system in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
OPENeP, which has been chosen by Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS Global Digital Exemplar, and University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, will now be made available to Alcidion customers that wish to procure the technology as part of their digitisation and patient safety ambitions.
Donald Kennedy, general manager for Alcidion in the UK, said “This partnership will undoubtedly interest many of the NHS hospitals we work with to enhance patient safety and the working lives of healthcare professionals. This is an important step in our expanding offering to hospitals that are determined to use digital technology to make it easier for staff to deliver safer and better care for patients. We continue to listen to and respond quickly to the needs of the NHS.”
Kate Quirke, managing director at Alcidion“Medications data is a critical element of the information required to improve patient safety and healthcare delivery. By adding this to our existing capabilities, we can offer our customers the opportunity to implement a modern medication management solution alongside our Miya Precision platform.”
“When combined with our electronic observations and clinical documentation solution, Patientrack, and Smartpage, for clinical communication, our customers will have access to a modern, mobile, EMR platform with enhanced decision support capabilities.”
The solution means that hospital staff can move away from paper and writing prescriptions and ensure adherence to medication administration.
