HEALTHCARE software company Modeus has been selected as the preferred supplier for the Electronic Controlled Drug Register for SA Pharmacy Sites tender issued by South Australia Health.
Modeus will roll out its HS8 Controlled Medication Register application across the SA pharmacy sites.
HS8 is a controlled drug register platform used in over 60 hospitals that integrates with its systems including iPharmacy, Patient Administration Systems and Active Directory to help "remove duplication and to make workflows quicker and more accurate," shared CEO Carl Zufi.
"This allows hospitals to transition from paper-based controlled drug registers to an intelligent platform that decreases the time spent on controlled drug record keeping, and gives pharmacists more hours for patient care.
"HS8 has safety features to prevent medication errors, closed- loop governance and security to ensure the movement of controlled medications are tracked and accounted for," Zufi explained.
Michael Bakker, SA Pharmacy's Digital Health Portfolio Lead, explained, "we are pleased to be partnering with Modeus to deliver HS8 to our network of South Australian Public Hospital Pharmacies due to HS8's broad functional capabilities, product maturity, ease of use and solid feedback from hospitals currently using HS8 in other states".
"SA Health is determined to lead the way in best practice medication management solutions, and by future-proofing controlled drug workflow management via implementing the HS8 platform, we are confident that this will result in improved efficiencies, and medication safety & compliance for the SA Health network."
