Automated Medication Distribution System

The NextRx System is a comprehensive, automated, medication distribution system for hospitals. It provides health care institutions an automated approach to reducing medication errors and increasing efficiency. The system incorporates several innovations to achieve its comprehensiveness and performance:

• Evidence-based "best practice" principles drove the design. The system follows the principles of "Unit Dose" methodology, proven to be the safest model for medication distribution and administration.
  
• Bar-coding is used to receive, inventory, pick and safely administer medications using multiple quality checks to assure accuracy. The system tracks all medications, from delivery to the hospital to the patient's bedside.
  
• Closed-loop data collection generates real-time data each time a drug is administered, providing better information on treatment outcomes, efficiency and costs.
  
• Wireless communications technology links the system's components, providing clinicians with secured access to real-time patient information.
