MedsManager was designed to replicate existing dispensing software and devices in healthcare settings, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world clinical practice.
Featuring software controlled drawer access, barcode scanning technology, patient and medication formularies, and extensive reporting capabilities, MedsManager is a robust, fully functional application. Track medication use and inventory, create messages, recalls, and stock discrepancies, and upload files or documents for learners to review as they would when moving on to future careers.
MedsManager integrates with our medication dispensing carts and cabinets and simulated electronic medical records (SimEMR or MedSkills) to function as a complete inventory control system, optimizing medication dispensing processes to improve efficiency, accuracy, and patient safety. Combining medication management software, Automated Dispensing Systems (ADS), and an EMR allows for seamless data exchange and reduces manual data entry, further streamlining workflows and ensuring patient and medication information remains accurate and consistent.
Familiarizing learners with medication dispensing systems is crucial for safer medication management and therefore future patient safety. From medication stocking and dispensing to administration, MedsManager enhances simulation lab practice for a multitude of healthcare disciplines.
As an example, some schools include activities in which various healthcare disciplines work together to practice how they would perform med admin actions in a hospital setting. Pharmacy learners may receive a nursing floor request to dispense a few medications from a cabinet and transport them to stock a cart on the nursing floor. The nursing learners may then practice administering that medication to a standardized patient, while documenting the process.
No matter the healthcare discipline’s various use cases, save instructors valuable time in the sim lab and allow learners to practice medication dispensing with confidence and precision.
Bring simulation and real-world practice closer together through simulator integration, automation, and prioritization on accuracy, preparing learners to become exceptional future healthcare professionals.
