"Our facility installed med
DISPENSE
automation to replace our paper system of controlled substance documentation and
PRN medications in each patient's drawer. During the 3 day install the
medDISPENSE
staff performed all software installation and training of nursing, respiratory
therapy and pharmacy staff. At the end to the install all of our staff was very
comfortable with the use of the automation.The push for the implementation of automation was partially to satisfy a requirement of participation from our last JCAHO survey and partially to decrease and prevent medication errors related to look-alike / sound-alike medications (e.g. Oxycontin / MScontin). After the installation of med DISPENSE
with Profile Interface in January of 2005, our medication error rate went from 0.65
errors / 1,000 doses dispensed (2004 data) to 0.30 errors / 1,000 doses dispensed
(2005 2nd Qtr data)."

"med
DISPENSE
has provided our 22 hospitals with extremely functional, well designed automation
that has helped us meet our PRN, first dose and after-hours dispensing needs in a
JCAHO compliant, efficient and cost effective manner."
Bruce Predebon
Corporate Director of Pharmacy LifeCare Hospitals "PSI started using med DISPENSE
at the end of May 2004. Since then, PSI has gained impressive results for Zeeland
Community Hospital. medDISPENSE
in our ER alone has improved revenue capture from an average lost revenue of
$6,000 to $10,000 per month to now around $100 per month. Thank you
medDISPENSE!"[ View Graph of Results ]
Rick Hansen, RPh, MBA
Pharmacy Manager for PSI (Pharmacy Systems, Inc.) Zeeland Hospital "With med DISPENSE
I have access to the drugs I need when my patients need them."
Nurse Supervisor
LifeCare Hospital of Pittsburgh, a 180-bed facility "I was trained and ready to use med DISPENSE
in seven minutes. Now I get the meds I need in less than 30 seconds. Before, the
fastest I ever got a med after-hours was 15 minutes…usually, it took an hour."
ER, Medical/Surgical Nurse Manager,
Stones River Hospital, a 55-bed hospital Woodbury, Tennessee "We were able to provide faster drug access for our nurses while securing tighter control for pharmacy."
Director of Pharmacy and Ancillary Services
HS Lakeshore Rehabilitation Hospital, a 120-bed facility in Birmingham, Alabama Having used competing systems (that were much more expensive!), I can assure you med DISPENSE
is a very user-friendly system that offers more for less. Customer support is
friendly and efficient in handling requests. The nurses like the larger screen
and the features that the profile system offers. We as an institution are happy
with our decision to go with medDISPENSE.
