- tailored to each organisational policies and procedures improved handover report that prepares and records new, changed or ceased medications, as required administrations and exceptions.
Webstercare managing director Gerard Stevens said MedSig included key functionality for users, providing additional clinical medication information during the medication round.
“These features were developed thanks to valued feedback from our customers and also in response to learnings from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission,” Mr Stevens said.
“As with everything we do, this is to improve medication adherence, safety and peace of mind for residents and aged care staff,” he said.
