 Sunrise Medication Management™ seamlessly integrates every aspect of giving and receiving a medication safely across the care continuum, including physician order entry, reconciliation, pharmacist verification and dispensing, and nurse medication administration and documentation. An integrated component of Sunrise Acute Care™, Sunrise Medication Management delivers the essential components of medication management automation on a single platform and shared database, preventing points of failure where information could be mis-transcribed, mis-communicated or simply missed. Each individual in the medication management process has a complete and up-to-the-minute view of the patient and the other caregivers’ decisions and actions.
At each stage of the process, the solution helps reduce the number of steps and potential for error. For physicians, user-friendly CPOE and customizable order sets that support complex treatments such as chemotherapy help ensure that orders result in timely and accurate action. In the Pharmacy, automated order verification reduces delays. Pharmacists can quickly select the right drug, dose, route and cost in keeping with formulary requirements. Before administering medications, nurses use bar code scanning to check the “five rights,” triggering the automatic update of the eMAR, simultaneously saving time and improving accuracy. When the patient is discharged, physicians can use orders reconciliation to prepare a discharge or transfer order and reconcile inpatient medications with outpatient prescriptions.
