Jefferson Community Health Center Extends Patient Safety With
IntelliDOT Bedside Medication Administration(TM)
BPOC Solution Integrates With McKesson Horizon Pharmacy
SAN DIEGO, CA, Sep 22, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- IntelliDOT
Corporation, a leading provider of wireless, handheld barcode point-of-
care (BPOC) solutions to hospitals, today announced that Jefferson
Community Health Center, a 25-bed critical access hospital in
Fairbury, NE has implemented IntelliDOT Bedside Medication
Administration (IntelliDOT BMA(TM)).
The IntelliDOT System integrates with Jefferson's core McKesson
Horizon pharmacy system. Orders entered into this McKesson system by
Jefferson's pharmacy staff are sent via HL7 to the IntelliDOT System
and appear on the nurse's IntelliDOT wireless handheld device. Data
elements include: patient demographic and identification information,
patient allergy information, order number, ordered medications, dose
amounts, dose units, SIG codes, custom dose times, route, order start/
stop times and order status. When the nurse responds to the IntelliDOT
System's prompts at bedside and enters medication administration
information and follow-up documentation, the data is then sent to the
IntelliDOT eMAR, which Jefferson uses as its legal patient medication
administration record.
"The IntelliDOT System makes us more effective in catching potential
problems before they reach the patient," said Gary Mitchell, Director
of Pharmacy, Jefferson Community Health Center. "As far as
documentation, we're doing in real time what we used to do
retrospectively for years. That for me is one of the biggest changes
we've seen as a result of adopting a barcode system."
The workflow and patient safety benefits of the IntelliDOT System are
also helping nurses at Jefferson be more efficient at the bedside and
confident that they are administering the right medication to the
right patient. "We're no longer just taking for granted that a nurse
is positively identifying the patient before giving a medication,"
said Judy McGee, RN, Chief Nursing Executive, Jefferson Community
Health Center. "Now we know for sure that our nurses are doing that
every single time because the IntelliDOT System prompts them to scan
the patient's wristband."
"IntelliDOT BMA is extending patient safety from the pharmacy to the
patient's bedside at Jefferson Community Health Center," said Thomas
G. Klopack, president and CEO of IntelliDOT. "Jefferson is proof that
small critical access hospitals can economically achieve the same
patient safety benefits as larger hospitals with IntelliDOT's
affordable and easily integrated system."
The IntelliDOT System is a best-of-breed wireless, workflow manager
that connects caregivers with the information systems they need at the
point-of-care. Designed by nurses for nurses, the IntelliDOT System
enables clinicians to perform safety checks and safely administer and
document medications at the bedside using a lightweight, handheld
device. The IntelliDOT System satisfies Joint Commission standards for
patient identification and assures accuracy by verifying the five
rights of medication administration: right medication, right dose,
right route, right patient, right time; as well as ensuring required
follow-up documentation, such as pain scale, is performed in a timely
manner and accurately recorded.
