Compliance & Safety
Patient safety is the #1 driver for new technology implementation in hospital pharmacies.
To support the safety-centric objectives of hospitals and health systems, Bluesight is dedicated to providing technology and workflows that enable a culture of both safety and compliance. Our solutions identify and prevent drug diversion, stop expired medications from reaching care settings, and swiftly handle recalls – all while keeping health systems prepared for audits from the Board of Pharmacy and DEA.
REGULATORY AUDITS
Incomplete documentation of inventory and transactions leaves hospitals vulnerable for audits
EXPIRATIONS AND RECALLS
Every expired or recalled medication stocked in a crash cart or anesthesia workstation is a patient safety risk
GPO COMPLIANCE
Hospitals that don’t maintain compliance with their GPO may face financial penalties
DIVERSION
Staff diversion endangers patients, including inadequate care and inaccurate EMR documentation
A Unique Solution to These Problems:
Be Prepared for Audits
Stay compliant with diligent documentation of all medication transactions.
- Trace every dispense of controlled medications through its corresponding administration, waste, or return to ensure the full amount is accounted for.
- Maintain a complete audit trail of all variance resolutions related to controlled medication transactions and search for a specific record at any time.
- Ensure no expired or recalled medications reach care settings in kits or trays.
Ensure Accurate Inventory
Prevent recalled and expired medications from reaching patients and care settings.
- Confirm 100% accuracy of each kit and tray prior to dispatch, verifying no expired medication, no recalled inventory, and the correct counts of each item.
- Remove recalled inventory 33x faster than manually checking each kit and tray by instantly accessing records of your unit level inventory including lot number and location – down to a specific crash cart or anesthesia workstation.
- Receive recall alerts and flag the affected inventory in your database.
Maintain GPO Compliance
Track and maintain GPO compliance for your hospital while optimizing spend.
- Prioritize both GPO compliance and total savings when adjusting to alternate NDCs
- Watch your facility’s overall and line-time compliance in real time
Monitor and export failure to supply credits
Identify and Prevent Diversion
Pinpoint risky behavior and confirm cases of diversion while improving your overall diversion prevention strategy.
- Monitor and identify behavior abnormalities based on numerous reports including Waste Networks, Dispense Trends, Shift Analysis and more, then compare individuals across a hospital, care area, and department.
- Prioritize reviews of high-risk individuals in order of most critical to least critical.
- Approach investigations with a centralized, collaborative workflow including sharing notes and attachments, linking specific transactions, and referencing observed behavior reports.
