Patient safety and efficient organization are essential requirements in the fast-paced world of healthcare. Scheduled prescriptions need to be located, assembled and organized on a constant basis. Nursing teams must then be able to transport and dispense the medications to patients with the highest level of security and efficiency. Goal The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has adopted medication management standards to improve patient safety. Lakeside Manufacturing has developed its new line of SecurMED Medication Management Carts specifically to meet these requirements. Standards JCAHO requires that all staff members who prepare medications use techniques to ensure accuracy and avoid contamination. All equipment must be sterile and the work environment is to be organized, clean and uncluttered, maintaining functionally separate areas for medication preparation. Results SecurMED Medication Management Carts have been specifically developed with JCAHO's standards in mind, and are available in three sizes with three dispensing options (cassette, unit dose and punch card) to fit the majority of acute and long term care operations. Specifics Lakeside's 27013C full-size cassette cart includes 50 bins and 5 drawers to support 30-day punch cards. It has a wide handle for improved ergonomics and easy access. Cart drawers and cassettes can be organized by patient, room, or floor, with four premium locking options to improve security and discourage tampering. Durability For lifetime reliability, this cart has been constructed with tamper-resistant steel and a smooth, easy to clean work surface top. Non-marring composite bumpers protect walls and doorways, while also helping to prevent staff ankle injuries, allowing for a safer working environment. CompX eLock Software LockView (optional) makes it easy to monitor audit trails for the last 1500 access attempts, manage users and eLocks, and assign time-based restrictions and dual credential access.
