Design and Implement a paperless software for Pharmacy Department.

The aseptic services department at GSTFT has the strategic aim to move towards a paperless compounding solution for the preparation of chemotherapy and centralised intravenous additive (CIVAS) products.

Benefits of this project are:

1. Improved patient safety in the preparation of highly toxic drugs through reduction in errors associated with failure of human checking by utilising electronic checking solutions — i.e. bar code, blind batch number entry, photo ID, weight checks;

2. Improved patient safety through reduction in errors associated with transcription between Mosaiq / EPMA and solution;

3. Improved productivity as staff time not required to print, collate and check paper worksheets;

4. Reduced wastage through reduction in expired stock by ensuring material expiring earliest is used 1st;

5. Reduced costs associated with printing paper worksheets;

6. Improved patient experience and waiting times through increased turn around time of preparation;

7. Reduced archive costs and improved access to archived data;

8. Improved process tracking and audit as each stage of the production process can be date / time stamped.
