Last week the RIVM report 'Medication incidents due to user-unfriendly IT systems' was published. The report states that errors are often caused by user-unfriendly computer systems. For example, it is often difficult for prescribers to select the correct medicine from the list of medicine names.
SmartMed therefore works closely with the end users in the development of its medication management software, where usability and intuitive screens are the starting points for optimal patient safety. By providing the application with all kinds of validation and control mechanisms, we ensure that human error is kept to a minimum. It goes without saying that SmartMed also complies with the security standards as established in the ISO27001 and NEN 7510 guidelines.
In order to continually improve patient safety, we use a 'Medication Safety Tool'. This is an electronic tool that provides infallible insight into the actions that must be performed in order to improve the total medication process step by step. The result of using our 'Medication Safety Tool' is that the impact on patient safety becomes clear. If you are interested in this tool, please contact us.
