    Swisslog Lands First Rehabilitation Facility Order for MedRover™

    PRWeb – Wed, Feb 1, 2012

    Rehabilitation facility in New Jersey to replace stationary medication cabinets with innovative mobile dispensing solution.

    Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

    Swisslog, a leading provider of automated materials transport and medication management solutions for hospitals, today announced that Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation in Pomona, New Jersey, has purchased MedRover™ mobile dispensing cabinets. The order is the first for Swisslog’s innovative new medication management solution in the rehabilitation market.

    MedRover is a mobile dispensing cabinet that offers stationary cabinet-level security with the mobility of a cart, enabling nurses to securely store and administer medications, including narcotics, at the patient bedside. MedRover is the only mobile medication dispensing solution of its kind.

    “Our contract with Bacharach Institute is a landmark event in the long and successful history of Swisslog Healthcare Solutions,” said Ben Hinnen, vice president of Swisslog’s Automated Drug Management Systems (ADMS) business unit. “Known for decades as the leader in hospital pneumatic tube systems and more recently for our medication management solutions, this MedRover order, our first in the rehabilitation segment, demonstrates our solutions for our clients’ most challenging needs – in this case, beside medication administration. I commend Bacharach on its vision and actions of applying innovative technologies for the advancement of patient safety,” said Hinnen.

    A desire to continually improve patient safety and new bedside verification initiatives led Bacharach Institute to MedRover. The units will be deployed throughout the hospital, eventually replacing existing stationary dispensing cabinets. Utilizing MedRover’s RoverRN software, nurses will verify that the right patient is receiving the right medications at the bedside, while creating an electronic medication administration record for each patient. This information will be sent directly to the pharmacy for inventory replenishment and billing. MedRover’s RoverRX software will be used within the pharmacy to keep a perpetual inventory of medications in the pharmacy and in each of the MedRover units.

    “Implementing beside verification and an eMAR are key initiatives for 2012,” said Maria Fuddy, Bacharach’s vice president of Nursing & Patient Care. “We wanted a solution that would allow us to easily implement these features while optimizing the nurses’ workflow, allowing them to spend more time with each patient. MedRover is the ideal solution for us. With MedRover, we’ll be able to bring most of the medications a patient needs, including narcotics, directly to the bedside for administration without having to make multiple trips to stationary cabinets. We also took this opportunity to reevaluate our medication and nursing workflow processes to leverage MedRover’s unique capabilities. While this obviously benefits our nurses, it ultimately benefits our patients in the form of improved safety and quality of care.”

    Bacharach Institute will begin implementing the MedRovers during the first quarter of 2012.
