The brand new STOCKART’s Automated Medication and Supply Management System makes its debut in Turkey at the Okan University Hospital

The “STOCKART Automated Medication and Supply Management System”, is the result of intensive R&D work backed by many years of experience by Simeks Tıbbi Sistemler A.Ş.  Domestically produced, it is being installed for the first time at the Okan University Medical Faculty Tuzla Hospital this September 2016, in Turkey. Bahar SUNMAN in charge of the operation, an Electronics and Communications Engineer as well as the Chairman of the Board at TriaTech Tıbbi Sistemler A.Ş, an affiliation of Simeks, points out that while the STOCKART products were previously installed at the Anatolian Medical Center in Affiliation with Johns  Hopkins Medicine Gebze Hospital for validation purposes and that the establishment there continues to develop, the system being installed at the Okan University is a first, as it involves an house-wide hospital installation”.

Dr Alper Dermirarslan, general manager of Okan Sağlik Grubu and Okan University Hospital, emphasized that “Okan University Hospital had been planned from day one with a global technological vision and the intention to pioneer within the health sector. The Okan University Hospital offers worldwide technology in health, starting with the basic infrastructure of the hospital”. He continues to say; “it is our goal to keep the patient’s health our main priority while making a difference in the health sector. With this approach we offer high quality health services, preventive medicine and cures while offering supreme patient safety. With this in mind we have chosen to use the Automated Medication and Medical Supplies Management systems of STOCKART in order to offer safe dosage to our patients as this system prevents errors in medication delivery and applications. As we all know one of the most life threatening situations in the world is to be hospitalized. In United States of America alone it is one of the top ten causes of deaths. We have implemented all available systems in our hospital with the intention of offering a safe environment, securing the health of our patients”.

On August the 30th, 2016, a delivery consisting of 20 sets of Automated Dispensing Cabinets (ADCs), 4 sets of Barcode Controlled Open Systems and 15 sets of the Cold Chain Management Module comprising of the STOCKART Automated Medication and Supply Management Systems was made to the new Tuzla Hospital which the Okan University will be opening. All systems are to be integrated into the hospital’s information management system (HIS).

Simeks released their statement saying that with this installation it is their goal is to create paper-free transactions for hospital medications and supplies management as well as to complete the digital hospital structure using the support of STOCKART solutions.  “Medication and Supply Management, being one of the largest cost items of a hospital, has been a priority for many years” said Bahar SUNMAN. She adds; “advancing technology has moved Medication and Supply management onto electronic platforms. Automated Medication and Supply Management Systems are technologies that manage all of the transactions starting from the entry of Medication and Supply into the hospital, to administering them to patients.

When the industrial Internet entered our lives it became crucial for advanced technologies used in Medication and Supply management, to be integrated within the information management systems used in hospitals. As a result the information produced within the system becomes accessible to all authorized personnel. By analyzing the large scale of data available, institutions gain the power to make improvements rapidly in their processes giving them an advantage that was not accessible before. Technological Automatic Medication and Supply Management Systems provide hospitals with huge opportunities to improve patient safety, reduce medication errors, increase personnel satisfaction and reduce hospital’s costs.
