The title list varies by language and new titles are translated on a regular basis.

Each of the core products include

  1. Archive – Permanent archive of all printed instructions and medications prescribed provides proof of exactly what was given out to the patient for any future needs.
  2. Macros – Physicians can set up “macros” to combine topics, work/school release forms and prescriptions to automate the discharge process for common conditions.
  3. Patient Friendly Documents – The liberal use of graphics, bullets, subheadings and color all combine to encourage the patient to actually read their instructions!
  4. Extensive Library – You can provide your patient with clear and concise information on most medical conditions, helping to build a better relationship with your patient.
  5. Recent Patients List – This feature allows you to build a document set (and medication list) over time so you do not need to re-enter patient information and can see which topics have already been taught.

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 – Over 2,800 drug information sheets are available to print either as part of a prescription, or separately, in English & Spanish
  3. Medication Reconciliation – You can now clearly communicate to the patient the correct status of all medications - now a Joint Commission requirement.

Over 1,100 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 s 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.
