Features
Closed Loop Dose Accountability
Automatically compares medications dispensed and/or wasted from the cabinet versus those documented as administered in the Cerner EHR system, providing:
- Increased vigilance of controlled substances
- Reduced time spent tracking variances
An end of shift report identifies outstanding waste for nursing.
Remote Medication Queuing

This functionality helps to reduce errors and streamlines medication administration activities, allowing nurses to spend more time on patient care.
