• WHAT:
  • QuadraMed will demo its Pharmacy IMM (Integrated Medical
    Management) at the American Society of Health System
    Pharmacists (ASHP) 2008 conference.
    
  • QuadraMed's Pharmacy IMM solution offers real-time,
    wireless point-of-care medication scanning that allows
    clinicians to verify a patient's identity and validate
    medications against active orders. The module provides
    order entry, validation, medication dispensing,
    administration/patient medication delivery and
    documentation functionality.
    
  • QuadraMed's Pharmacy IMM provides nurses and pharmacy staff
    with access to patient status and clinical information,
    thereby reducing medication errors, enhancing clinical
    workflow and improving patient safety.
    
  • Beth Ash, QuadraMed product consultant, will deliver
    Pharmacy IMM demos Dec. 3-5 at the QuadraMed Booth #2131
    during exhibit hours.
  
  
• WHY:
  • Medication errors account for at least 7,000 deaths in
    the United States each year.
    
  • Medication errors occur in nearly 1 of every 5 doses
    given to patients in the typical hospital.
    
  • Administration mistakes account for 38% of medication
    errors.
    
  • Safety at the point of care is one of the greatest areas
    for potential improvement in the medication use process.
