A nurse is facing potential license loss and job termination after multiple medication scanning omissions, exacerbated by high workload and inadequate support.
Current medication administration systems rely on manual scanning, which is prone to error under heavy workloads and distractions; they do not provide real-time prompts or checks to prevent missed scans, nor do they account for understaffing and high patient acuity.
ScanGuard RN
ScanGuard RN is a mobile app that integrates with existing EHR and medication dispensing systems to provide real-time alerts and hard stops when a medication scan is missed. It uses predictive reminders based on medication schedules and patient context, and can escalate notifications to charge nurses if a scan is not completed within a specified window.
- Real-time missed scan alerts with hard stops before charting completion
- Integration with Pyxis/Omnicell and EHR systems for real-time data
- Workload-aware reminders that trigger based on nurse-to-patient ratio and task load
- Anonymous incident reporting and analytics to identify systemic issues
