ExitCare Medication Management Products

ExitMeds®

ExitMeds® is the medication solution within ExitCare that is the gateway to the management of medications. There are several components to ExitMeds. They include:

  1. Electronic Prescription Writing – Reduces medication errors and speeds up the discharge process.
  2. Drug Information Sheets – Thousands of drug information sheets are available to print either as part of a prescription, or separately, in English & Spanish.
  3. Medication Reconciliation – You can clearly communicate to the patient the correct status of all medications - a Joint Commission requirement.

Thousands of defaults are pre-loaded into ExitCare so creating a script can literally take only a few seconds. You can also establish defaults by user, department or facility. Default meds can be set up by diagnosis, or bundled with documents as part of the “Macro System”.

Patient Medication Schedule allows the user the ability to create a patient friendly schedule, with dates, times and checkboxes of when to take medications. Multiple weeks can be printed at the touch of a button. This Module requires ExitMeds to be installed.

Drug to Drug & Allergy to Drug Interactions gives the provider the opportunity to conduct one final interaction check at the discharge event. If all medications have been entered to perform Medication Reconciliation, a simple touch of a button will provide a final quality check. The Interactions Module requires ExitMeds to be installed.

Rx Paper ExitCare has been specifically designed to meet the requirement to print prescriptions on security paper. The prescription is handled by ExitCare as a totally different print job from the rest of the patient instruction set, allowing the ability to specify a separate printer for scripts, or even a second paper tray within a printer.
