Welcome!
Getting the right prescription drug into the right hands at the right time can be a logistical nightmare for nursing homes, but a Grapevine-based health care technology company and a Mesquite senior living community have found a way to eliminate medication errors, slash drug costs and save nurses time. The OnSiteRx system, developed by Provider Business Solutions, combines an automated drug-dispensing machine with Web-based software that allows physicians, nurses and pharmacists to order prescriptions, check for side effects and deliver the medication to nursing home residents in minutes. OnSiteRx holds 240 of the most common medications for nursing home residents. The unit, about the size of a vending machine, dispenses each resident's drugs, seals them in plastic and prints the patient's name and prescription information on the packet. Nurses load their drug carts and administer the prescriptions. |
