A recent USP MedMARx report states that nearly 50% of reported medication errors in NICU and PICU are due to prescribing and transcribing. A recent study at the University of Maryland Medical Center suggests the technology of Accupedia can eliminate incomplete and inaccurate orders -- contributors to prescribing and transcribing errors.

Accupedia solves challenges of integrating standardized concentrations while adding additional safeguards to protect your patients. One-button optimization of complicated drip order sets minimizes fluids and maximizes dose based on preset algorithms developed by the University of Maryland. A comprehensive, clear order sheet is produced for each drip - including patient specific titration charts.

TESTIMONIALS:

"We found that 40.5% of our handwritten rule-of-six orders were missing important elements such as the patient's weight, dose and rate, and 6.5% contained calculation errors. The computerized orders were error-free, complete and legible."
- Elora Hilmas, Pharm.D., formerly of the University of Maryland

"Accupedia has provided a platform for us to standardize our drip concentrations without a significant learning curve for our physicians."
- Steven G. Janke, PharmD, IT Support Pharmacist, Bronson Methodist Hospital

"We had to come up with a better alternative for rule of six and compliance with JCAHO. Accupedia has definitely helped us solve this problem and it is easy to use."
- Nilesh Desai, Assistant Director of Pharmacy, Hackensack University Medical Center
