Med Management

The unique environments of the operating theatre (OT) and procedural areas (NORA: non operating theatre anaesthesia) require medication-use processes that differ from methods traditionally used in the inpatient units. As such, this distinct setting requires a special approach to medication management for all Anaesthesia personnel.

At iProcedures, we incorporated a unique solution set (iPro Med Management) to help streamline medication-use process while maintaining traditional anaesthesia workflow to care for a high acuity patient in the OR. This solution set offers an operating theatre medication management solution, iPro Med Management, embedded in a state of the art, award winning Anaesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) known as iPro Anaesthesia.

Syringe swaps, incorrect syringe labeling, and vial selection have been documented as causing the majority of medication administration errors in the OR. Traditional medication-use process and safety checks do not follow convention in the intraoperative anaesthesia setting, but all medication administration is documented in the Anaesthesia Record, the electronic version of which is called the Anaesthesia Information management system (AIMS).

iPro Anaesthesia with iPro Med Management helps control drug inventory, track and total meds, make discrete medication data readily available, drug reconciliation, improve documentation of medications administered, and improves overall collection of pharmacy data.
