Patient Safety is our Ultimate Goal

Medication errors occur in nearly one of every five doses given to patients in the institutional setting. More and more care facilities are instituting bedside scanning as a means to improve patient safety. Bar-coded medications are an essential first step for implementing this significant improvement in medication dispensing.

Med-Pak's will enhance patient safety by:

• Reducing medication errors
• Providing easy-to-read labels
• Keeping all prescription information with the package
• If a med manager is diverted by a resident's need they return to a fully intact pouch with all prescription information
• Providing bar-coding option for eMAR and manifesting
• Med-Pak's Intelligent Labeling System ensures 100% accuracy for every pouch

Med-Pak reduces care provider's risk of dispensing the wrong medication. Our clearly labeled packages make it easy to identify and accurately administer medication. Our easy-to-read labeling is flexible, making the font as large or small as you need it.

An optional barcode serves as yet another compliance checkpoint. Bedside scanning identifies the patient, nurse and package to ensure accurate medication delivery - and maximum patient safety. Plus, the back of our package is clear, making it easy to visually check the medication. Med-Paks are kept intact until medication is dispensed so prescription information is available all the way to the patient.

Med-Pak's state-of-the-art packaging helps differentiate your facility while also driving medication compliance.

The Med-Pak System ensures the right medication at the right time.

Med-Pak compliments your nursing staff:

• Improves patient compliance and makes it easier for your staff to monitor
• Clearly labeled Med-Paks can contain all pills for one administration time to better achieve medication adherence
• USP B class compliance for expiration dating
• Med-Pak clearly states administration times
• Bedside scanning compliant

Med-Pak is perfect for your patients:

• Patients stay independent longer
• Increases patient self-esteem
• Helps keep patients out of the hospital
• Reduces stress on family and friends
• All pills for a pass time in one easy-to-read, easy-to-open Med-Pak
• Take medication directly out of the Med-Pak to reduce spills - no medication cup needed

Medication regimen changes can be easily facilitated with a unit dose order that can be sent anytime during the month.

Travel and Family Friendly

For families, a weekend with their loved ones can be a happy experience. But for the care provider, it means additional work to prepare their medications.

Med-Pak makes it simple to separate a few days of medications for those short trips. Plus, your patients won't be confused, because they'll receive the same packaging as they would in your facility. And the easy-to-read labeling lets family members know exactly when their loved ones need their medication.
