Replacing traditional paper-based recording methods, which are susceptible to manual entry errors and loss or damage, BESTtrack provides a secure record for residential aged care homes to track restricted S8 and S4D medications.
“We are continuously looking at ways to improve safety and efficiencies in medication management,” said BESTMED CEO, Phil Offer. “BESTtrack addresses our customers’ need for a safer and more efficient way for care staff to manage medication management and restricted drugs with a single software vendor.”
Cloud-based, BESTtrack provides a simple way for homes to:
- accurately record and track multiple safes
- access real-time comprehensive reporting and,
- streamline pharmacy supply and ordering
BESTtrack addresses state-based legislation and provides increased accountability while supporting users with alerts and prompts.
“Our roadmap, funded by a $3m annual development spend, is dedicated to solutions that improve medication management with the best-fit technology to address customer needs”, said Mr Offer.
Currently, in beta testing BESTtrack will be available as an option in the rollout of upcoming releases, either integrated with BESTMED or as a standalone product. Registrations of interest are now open at www.bestmed.com.au/besttrack/.
