Point-of-Care Medication Management
Hospice Pharmacia is offering a new communication option
for hospice nurses—a combination cell phone and data
transmission system. In addition to usual cell phone functionality,
the following features are available in this new handheld
option:
- XerisMobile
- Patient discharges
- Reporting of patient assessments
- Patient medication profiles
- Medication refills
- Package tracking
- Instant messaging to the HP Medication Management Support Center
- Instant messaging within the network for the hospice nursing team
- Walkie-talkie capability with hospice nursing team
- Calendar and event reminders
- Navigational system for driving directions
- Reviewing longitudinal presentations of outcome measures
|
Soon, XerisMobile will also offer the following features:
- The HP Medication Use Guidelines (MUGs)
- Long Term Care medication authorization
- Listing of HPRxCard local pharmacies
- QA reporting
- e-Prescribing/e-Requesting*
|
|
With volume purchasing, HP is able to offer this communication
option for the same or less than the cost of cell phones
in use today by hospice nurses.
*The Federal Government has mandated e-prescribing in the
upcoming years. We anticipate the introduction of e-requesting
for nurses and e-prescribing for physicians and nurse practitioners
in the next several months.
