Measurement: Height / Weight / Allergy Advisor

In the interest of patient safety, height, weight and allergies must be entered into the EMR prior to medication administration. We found that these important fields were often not being entered in a timely manner, which caused delays in medication profiling by the pharmacy, and ultimately a delay in safe medication administration to the patient.

Value Proposition

This custom advisor streamlines the entry of essential measurements to promote safer medication administration.
