Med Management

The unique environments of the operating room (OR) and procedural areas (NORA: non operating room anesthesia) 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 Anesthesia personnel.

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

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 anesthesia setting, but all medication administration is documented in the Anesthesia Record, the electronic version of which is called the Anesthesia Information management system (AIMS).

iPro Anesthesia 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.
