Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
We would like to see a process/capability within the pharmacy application in Thrive Web Client for pharmacy staff to be able to scan medication barcodes prior to dispensing medications and while restocking in the pharmacy. This would be an extra patient safety measure in addition to nurses scanning medications.
Currently our pharmacy staff stocks routine medications in a medication cart. The idea that was brought up would be the pharmacy staff would scan the medication prior to putting it in the patient's drawer to ensure that they are putting the correct medication in there. Also, this would ensure the medication is inventoried properly when the pharmacy stocks their shelves. Ideally this would be on the pharmacy end of things rather than nursing side.
So if you have this new place to scan a medication barcode,
What happens after the scan?
What needs to be displayed?
What actions would the user want to take next?
