Bridge Medication Administration is a cost-effective software solution designed to assist hospital staff in improving medication safety and information management.

Using bar-code verification technology, the clinician scans his or her name badge, the patient’s identification band and the medication to access the patient’s profile and verify that the five rights--drug, patient, dose, time, and route--all match.  Bridge Medical further applies safety checks beyond the five rights. All checks are done at the point of care and prior to medication administration – intercepting any potential error before it reaches the patient.

• Five Rights checking during medication administration at the point of care
• Allergy checking and Ht/Wt/Age based dose checking at the point of care
• ISMP alerts (Look-alike, sound-alike, and high-risk medications)
• Extensive reporting capabilities to facilitate tracking of near misses
• Real time online order entry confirmation
• Provides ability to communicate with pharmacy via email, fax or printer
• Online drug reference access with direct links to medication information from patient profile (Lexi-comp, MicroMedex, Clinical Pharmacology)
• Ability to capture and outbound charge information upon administration
