Manage medication profiles, prescription orders, and the electronic patient record
Today’s healthcare facilities require an easy-to-use information management system that contributes to clinical effectiveness and eases administrative burden. Momentum Healthware Pharmacy is a comprehensive clinical and administrative toolset for pharmacy management.
The Pharmacy application supports the entire dispensing process— accepting medication orders, processing client information, generating and editing labels, creating client profiles, and managing drug inventory and formulary. In addition, the Pharmacy application allows the display of client demographic information throughout the workflow process.
Client Order Management
The Client Order Management component has the ability to extend, cancel, discontinue, modify, and renew orders. It also supports individual and batch label printing. The system also allows further defining individual client orders pertaining to decreasing dose, frequency of distribution, and special distributions.
Drug Record Management
The Drug Record Management component will pre-code drug records such as dosage, route of administration, format, and drug monitoring. This allows each individual drug record to be configured in detail, per the facility’s requirements, to simplify the order process. Compounds and CIVA stock solutions may also be created as well as pre-set protocols. Functionality at the nursing unit level allows the creation of requisition lists to encompass the distribution of ward stock, emergency kits, night cupboards, and narcotic distribution. The requisition lists are integrated within the order management and narcotics management components, which include printing of narcotic control forms for appropriate signature.
Inventory Management
The Inventory Management component of Pharmacy enables drug inventories to be monitored. When stock is depleted below the customizable minimum level, a short-list is generated, prompting a purchase review. Purchase orders are placed and tracked electronically when interfaced with the wholesaler. When the order is received, inventory levels are adjusted, and drug costs are updated.
ADT Integration
The Pharmacy application offers seamless flow of client demographic (ADT) and location information with integration to Momentum’s Clinical Systems. Alternatively, ADT information can be entered manually in the pharmacy department. Allergies, pre-coded diagnoses and miscellaneous comments are also available for review and can be queried from the ADT module.
Drug Monitoring
The effective monitoring and administration of drugs is vitally important to reduce the number of adverse drug events (ADEs). The Pharmacy application monitors multiple levels of detections such as allergies, interactions and therapeutic duplication. Associated alerts will display with a pop up message indicating detections associated with a particular order. When the application is interfaced with Vigilance Santé (a powerful drug monitoring add-on module), additional information such as drug monographs, calculations, profile analysis functions, pediatric dosages, natural drug products, and antimicrobial therapy can be reviewed and monitored.
User and Access Rights
Security access rights are defined at a very detailed level. The rights are defined by institution, modules, access groups, and by user. This capability allows facilities to organize security rights to create secure environments for each institution and comply with the strict privacy laws for confidential information.
Reports
The Pharmacy report library provides an array of standard reports, with the flexibility to tailor custom reports. Examples include physician renewal profiles, pharmacological profiles, medical profiles, distribution per nursing units, distribution per facilities and drug administration files. There are numerous reports regarding daily costs, periodic costs and annual costs, narcotic distributions, clinical intervention lists, expired drugs list, stock lists, and stock lists per AHFS classes and per regions.
Reduce Medical Errors
Powerful features such as automatic dosage calculations (when interfaced with Vigilance Santé) allergy detection, and drug interaction alerts prevent the likelihood of harmful medical errors and litigation.
Improve Pharmaceutical Care
Streamline processing, maintain medication profiles, and provide access to the entire electronic health record.
Enhance Efficiency
The comprehensive inventory maintenance tool simplifies the management of drug inventory. Order lists are generated automatically when inventory is below minimum levels, and purchase orders are sent electronically to the wholesaler.
Multi-Site Capability
The Pharmacy application has the ability to be utilized in a multi site environment, allowing organizations to report by institution, floor, unit and bed. This allows regions to set up various facilities on the same system.
Interface Capability
Pharmacy is compliant with HL7 standards and therefore can interface to several third party applications. This allows information to flow to each application seamlessly, eliminating duplicate entry.
