ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Optronics, Inc., a workflow management solutions company, is advancing the safety of medication administration for hospitals across the country with their new medication administration application, Dynamic Hospital MedRunner. This fall, five hospitals within the Veterans Health Administration in Martinsburg W.V., the greater Baltimore area, and Washington D.C. will appreciate the benefits of enhanced productivity and patient safety by implementing MedRunner as a contingency solution for BCMA, the VA’s internal medication administration system. MedRunner maintains the look and feel of BCMA, enabling an effortless transition between the two systems. MedRunner also works as a stand-alone solution.
MedRunner enhances patient safety by utilizing advanced bar-coding and imaging technology to ensure that patient identity, medication, dosages, and administration time and method are positively confirmed before medication administration occurs. MedRunner simultaneously provides a comprehensive set of checks and audit mechanisms to track any discrepancies and reduce the likelihood of human error. Bar-coded medication administration has a proven track record of dramatically reducing the potentially fatal errors that can occur with paper administration procedures.
Bio-Optronics’ President, Mike Kamish, believes MedRunner will revolutionize current procedures for facilities struggling with antiquated paper or ineffective electronic systems:
“Dynamic Hospital MedRunner is unique because it can integrate with existing systems or work as a stand-alone solution for medication administration. It’s really the best of both worlds - point of care providers enjoy the ease with which they can use MedRunner and administrators appreciate improved financial recovery and increased patient safety. In addition, MedRunner’s comprehensive audit trail is a substantial benefit to healthcare providers in this age of litigation.”
Bio-Optronics’ patient, staff and visitor identification solution, MedID, has previously found success in VHA facilities and the company is eager to work with the Veteran’s Health Administration on future endeavors in the arena of patient safety.
