How can automation transform Controlled Drugs management in hospitals?
Managing controlled drugs is a multifaceted challenge. There is a need to prioritise patient safety and mitigate drug diversion risks, all whilst maintaining an efficient workflow for your dedicated staff.
Often, this puzzle remains unsolved due to reliance on manual processes: with 40% of a clinician's time dispensing CDs taken up by paper-based record keeping.
CQC published, for the first time, the number of CD incidents in England between 2018-2019.
- 2899 unaccountable losses of CDs were reported,
- 50% of these were reported lost, stolen or missing.
The good news is, Pharmacy automation can be your reliable partner throughout every step of the controlled drug management workflow.
