Integrated Medication Management for Skilled Nursing
Improve care, operations, and medication safety for residents with pharmacy integration and electronic prescribing
Integrated Medication Management (IMM) for skilled nursing connects facilities to their primary pharmacy for real-time electronic medication ordering, enabling both parties to access and review medication orders and refills.
Streamline and Optimize the Medication Management Workflow
- Integrate with preferred LTC pharmacies to enable a consistent process for all prescribing needs
- Save time with expedited ordering, supply, and delivery workflows
- Enhance efficiency with real-time pharmacy collaboration, reducing phone or fax follow-up
- Reduce errors and discrepancies and eliminate delays that impact resident health and safety
- Supports pharmacy-initiated and facility-initiated workflows
Respond Quickly to Residents’ Changing Needs
- Access to real-time clinical information allows more timely response by the pharmacy when resident health and needs change
- Eliminate the need for multiple systems and records to manage care requirements
- Embedded medication alerts prompt for the right documentation
Reduce Medication Errors and Prepare for Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS)
e-Prescribing has been shown to reduce medication errors by over 80%
Find out how our e-Prescribing software supports EPCS mandates and
improves all prescribing workflows
Meet e-Prescribing Requirements
- Easily comply with e-Prescribing mandates
- Ensure proper practitioner authority and approvals to dispense
- Prescribing audit capabilities track and validate prescribing steps
Moving to EPCS has saved us time and improved workflows for doctors, nurses, and even pharmacists. During times of low census, we can average 20 to 25 prescriptions each day, which can include up to five controlled substances. We now save at least five minutes per prescription, which can equate to 125 minutes per day. This means that our use of EPCS has easily saved over 60 hours each month that our staff can use for patient care.
