NaviMeds reduces the risk of drug misadministration
By only showing the carer the drugs due at that time, NaviMeds removes the need for interpretation of MAR sheets, reducing the risk of mistakes. Automated allergy checking and the highlighting of rejection patterns and mistakes enable proactive caring and the refinement of medication policies and procedures. Details of who administered the drugs and at what time are automatically captured as a bi-product of the administration process.

NaviMeds operates where it is needed most
Palm sized computer devices are carried by the carer on their drug round to record administrations – no more paper records to burden staff at the point of care. Non critical data input and reporting can be securely carried out from any PC connected to the Local Area Network or via the Internet.

NaviMeds saves time
Instant reporting provides commonly required information immediately. Advanced technology produces reports that would have been prohibitively time consuming in the past, including:

• Current prescriptions for a Service User
• Service User drug rejection rates by carer
• Historical MAR and prescription details
• Drug movement audit with discrepancies
• Inventory disposal lists
• Incoming drug recording
• Current inventory levels

NaviMeds reduce Cost

Automating tasks such as inventory counts that would otherwise be performed by carers, NaviMeds reduces demands on Carers’ and Managers’ time, freeing it up for improved care and enabling cost savings for re-investment in services. The reduction of medication errors leads to reduced process administration with an associated saving in time and money
