A Smarter Way to Manage Patient-Specific Medications
With most automated dispensing systems, patient-specific, patient-supplied, or infrequently used items must be handled and tracked manually. This creates extra work for pharmacy and nursing-and impacts patient care.
SinglePointe® Patient Medication Management Software revolutionizes the way patient-specific medications are managed-greatly reducing the risk of loss, diversion, missing doses, and even potentially fatal medication errors.
SinglePointe is the only solution for handling up to 100% of a patient's medications within the automated dispensing cabinet. It automatically assigns each patient's medications to a patient-specific location in the cabinet, and nurses simply follow the Guiding Lights to remove the items.
By using the patient medication tracking software, healthcare facilities have achieved1:
- 50% decrease in restock time
- 30% decrease in missing doses
- 80% decrease in returns/credits
- 76% decrease in potential medication errors

"SinglePointe software dedicates a bin for a specific solution for a specific patient, so the nurse on the next shift just goes to the bin and knows it is there."
