Cerner® Point of Care solutions provide the ability to directly document patient care activities at the bedside, including medication administration with positive patient identification.

Each of Cerner’s point-of-care solutions both unified and standalone, use bar-code technology to improve caregiver’s workflow and help to prevent clinical errors at a patient’s bedside by alerting the clinician when inconsistencies occur that could represent potential medication administration errors. All caregivers (Nurse, Pharmacist, and Physician) involved in the medication process benefit from having their patient’s most up-to-date information at the point of care.
