MedSMART^®Automated Medication Management System operates in real-time, thanks to its integration with the HIS (Hospital Information System), including pharmacy, billing, and ADT (Admission-Discharge-Transfer). This integration reduces the time spent on documentation, eliminates manual billing, optimizes cost management, and ensures both revenue control and stock accuracy.

The system can run in “order-based” mode when needed. This interface ensures the pharmacist validates the order as a second authority before medication is distributed.

When a nurse removes medication, it is automatically deducted from the inventory. The system logs the exact amount taken for the patient and charges the corresponding amount to the patient’s account. If the medication is returned, it is reinstated in the inventory and removed from the patient’s invoice. This process ensures control over stock, expenditures, and revenues.

Order-based MedSMART^® eliminates end-of-shift stock-taking, ensures narcotic medication control, and flags any inconsistencies in the medication management process. The system automatically notifies the pharmacy when medication stock reaches or falls below the minimum level, supporting electronic follow-up, cost control, and documentation.

MedSMART^® stations located within hospital wards are customized based on factors like bed numbers, medication consumption patterns, management workflow, and the number of nurses in each ward.

Access to medication is restricted to authorized personnel only, verified through Bio ID authentication. This ensures medications are under strict control, and the system can track personnel performance when necessary.

Warning systems alert users to potential medication errors and ensure they are aware of medication administration directives before accessing medication. Controlled access and warning systems significantly reduce the risk of ADE (Adverse Drug Events) and prevent inventory losses.

Medications, including narcotics and antibiotics, can be made available on the ward. These medications can be accessed immediately when required, thanks to high-level control.

Secure access is ensured through different modes for managing medications of varying importance. For high-security medications, such as narcotics, access is allowed for only a single dose at a time, and only in the presence of a witness.

The continuity of the cold chain is monitored through continuous temperature and humidity tracking. Users are alerted if necessary, ensuring proper storage conditions.

The system adapts instantaneously to CV orders throughout the day, addressing the issue of unreturned medication after daily deliveries to the wards—a problem with an average world rate of 30%.

The system allows for immediate first-dose administration once the request comes through the hospital information system (HIS) link, reducing the time between order and administration.

Multiple medications can be taken out of the system at once using Kit definitions, and any unused medications can be returned to the system when needed.

All medication-related activities are recorded. If medication is administered too early, too late, or too close to the planned time, or if medication is given that was not part of the physician’s order, the system flags the nurse and requests a written explanation.

The system generates performance reports for hospital staff, containing measurable criteria for assessment.

In institutions without 24/7 pharmacy service, where medication is needed at night but is unavailable on the ward, specifically authorized personnel can access medication through Night Shift MedSMART^®, instead of requiring a night pharmacist on duty.
