• Horizon Admin-Rx


The Horizon Admin-Rx™ point-of-care application helps caregivers improve medication safety, patient safety, and prevent medication errors. Nurses use a handheld bar-code scanning medication administration device to scan and verify the “five rights” (right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, and right time). The solution provides a full-screen view of the patient’s medication profile, drug administrations and care unit reviews. Horizon Admin-Rx also provides an online clinical flow sheet documenting vital signs, medication profile, administration, history and care comments.

Horizon Admin-Rx helps caregivers prevent medication errors by:

  • Providing clinically specific warnings and alerts before the medication is administered

  • Scanning a three-way, bar-coded match of the caregiver’s ID badge, patient’s ID and medication

  • Compiling real-time information in an accurate and legible medication administration record (MAR) for all caregivers

  • Freeing nurses from manual paperwork so they can spend more time on patient care

Benefits:

  • Ensures the “five rights” before medication administration
  • Fosters medication safety and patient safety by delivering real-time alerts and warnings for new, changed or cancelled orders
  • Improves care team communications
