Tracking Controlled Drugs

There are many regulations covering the issue and use of controlled drugs, and one of the requirements relates to record keeping. This can be an onerous task. SDS (SageData) have developed a system that shows how to manage controlled drugs and provide detailed reporting so that proof of compliance can be provided when required.

SageData supplies the products and services you need to automate data collection and processing, providing you with greater productivity, data accuracy, and insight into the operation of your business.

For the Paramedic "business", data accuracy and insight into use of controlled medications isn't just desirable, it is mandated. BassetPro-Medic ensures that each individual vial is tracked from its first appearance under the Paramedic Service's control, to when it is used, or disposed. And other critical items can also be verified - vehicle keys, sat phones, emergency medical devices, trauma packs, fire extinguisher, etc., etc.

Features include:
- Full lifecycle tracking of vials
- Auto-ID scanning to ensure accuracy and speed
- Every inspection timestamped
- Personal vial responsibility tracked
- Mobile, touchscreen computing
- Easy to learn in minutes - intuitive buttons and instructions
- Easy to use - speeds up any current manual process
