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 medication administration safety 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 improve medication administration safety 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
