HPAS Product Page
Hospital Prescribing Analysis Software is a quick and simple way of analysing how medicines are prescribed in a hospital. It allows drugs budgets to be managed effectively, and standards of prescribing to be closely monitored. It functions with sites using the EDS pharmacy system.
HPAS is in use at:
- Yeovil District Hospital
- Musgrove Park Hospital at Taunton
- North Devon Healthcare Trust Hospital in Barnstaple
- Devon Partnership NHS Trust in Exeter.
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: The software provides rapid and up-to-date information about the costs of prescribing together with projections against budget. This can significantly improve the management of drug costs and recharging to other health bodies.
- Clinical: It identifies and monitors relevant clinical quality markers in prescribing. By combining high quality prescribing with adherence to the formulary, organisations can achieve a high quality, cost managed drug budget. Reports on critical areas of hospital drug usage e.g. PbR excluded spend, can be generated from within the software.
