The Software
The software creates bespoke reports on prescribing, finance
and other high risk areas in hospital medicine administration. It also produces
information charts to help with the interpretation of the data.
The Benefits
Hospitals can benefit from using the Hospital Prescribing
Analysis Software in two crucial areas:
Financial: It provides rapid
and up-to-date information of the costs of prescribing together with
projections against budget. This will substantially improve the management of
drug costs and recharging to other health bodies.
Clinical: It identifies and
monitors relevant clinical quality markers of prescribing. By combining high
quality prescribing with formulary adherence, a high quality, cost managed
drug budget can be achieved. Critical areas of hospital drug usage e.g.
controlled drug reporting can be generated from within the software.
