We are excited to announce the newest edition to our extensive workstation on wheels list – high capacity carts. Designed to handle a large volume of medications safely and efficiently, these high capacity automated dispensing machines have unlimited possibilities for simulation spaces. Enable secure, scalable medication management for efficient point-of-care delivery and practice with SimDispenseRx.
SimDispenseRx was built to simulate real-world medication administration workflows, featuring battery power and bin-level security. With 30 manual and electronic unlocking, independently operated bins that can be used as patient or storage drawers or a combination of the two, a multitude of healthcare disciplines can benefit from implementing SimDispenseRx to their curriculum.
In addition to an abundance of bin space, SimDispenseRx comes with a laptop that includes SimEMR, our cloud-based EMR simulator for patient charting, formulary management, medication orders, and debrief support, and MedsManager medication administration software with barcode scanning capability for additional security & med admin workflows.
Some benefits of introducing a high capacity medication dispensing machine to your simulation lab include:
Repetition & Refinement
High capacity carts allow healthcare learners to perfect med dispensing and administration practice through repetition. The ability for learners to gain muscle memory with fine motor skills allows them to perform procedures more accurately, while acquiring increased confidence.
Streamlined Processes
Faster and more efficient medication dispensing and distribution reduces time spent on other tasks. For example, if an instructor chooses to prep the workstation prior to a simulation, utilizing as many of the 30 bins as needed, they can shift their focus from administrative tasks, such as locating and preparing medications, to their learners.
Enhanced Skill Development
Simulators provide instant feedback on performance, enabling learners to adjust techniques in real-time. MedsManager and SimEMR record every aspect of a users login, including when a drawer was accessed or if a medication was wasted, so instructors can center observation on learner actions and progress.
Solutions for Multiple Disciplines
Nursing, pharmacy, physicians, vet-med, and many other healthcare disciplines can utilize SimDispenseRx as an evolving part of their curriculum. Some schools may practice working amongst different disciplines as learners will in the real-world. For example, pharmacy learners may stock the workstation bins for simulated patients and practice transferring the cart to the desired simulation space, where nursing learners can then perform med admin tasks.
Amplified Peripheral Package
SimDispenseRx Model 300 comes equipped with the largest peripheral package on the market for amplified clinical realism. With a barcode scanner, wipes and cups dispensers, storage basket, sharps container, wastebasket, and glove box bracket, Model 300 closely replicates carts in real hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. Practice with additional psychomotor skills, such as proper garbing and disposal of needles, allows learners to gain further competence for future careers.
