Support Safer, More Reliable Medication Management
Medication management relies on multiple handoffs across teams and steps, making alignment difficult. Without better coordination, timely medication availability and resident care become harder to maintain.
Efficient Medication Management Reduces Errors
Manual medication management involves fragmented processes across staff, systems, and pharmacy partners, creating gaps in care and increasing the risk of errors. Residents taking multiple medications are particularly vulnerable, with polypharmacy rates reaching up to 72% in assisted living and 7,000–9,000 deaths annually attributed to medication errors. Limited order visibility and inconsistent workflows make safe medication administration and documentation even more challenging.
Key Medication Management Challenges
Disconnected Workflows
Manual processes across staff, systems, and pharmacy partners make it difficult to maintain medication accuracy.
Limited Visibility
Lack of real-time insight into pharmacy orders requires constant follow-up and manual tracking by wellness staff.
Med Management Accuracy
Manual medication management and documentation increases the risk for human error.
Inconsistent Processes
Varying manual steps across staff create workflow inconsistencies, leading to missed steps, duplicate work, and variability across shifts.
Pharmacy Connect has streamlined our order management process, cutting the time it takes in half. This efficiency allows our teams to dedicate more time to interacting with residents. Additionally, we’ve observed a notable enhancement in safety. Pharmacy Connect eliminates the uncertainty associated with order approvals, a crucial factor for ensuring the safety of both our staff and residents.
