Pyxis Nurse Link overview
Pyxis Nurse Link is an integrated application that enables you to view, select, and
queue orders. The Pyxis Nurse Link application is used in the hospital
environment to enable the clinician to review necessary medication information.
Using Pyxis Nurse Link, you can queue medications for timely dispensing and
also display patient alerts provided by the MedMined™ Patient Event Advisor
system. The Remote Waste feature allows you to document medication waste
remotely. During implementation, CareFusion representatives will add a new
device called
NURSELINK
that will enable Pyxis Nurse Link functionality.
Waste process
Pyxis Nurse Link displays and processes all remove transactions and transfer
transactions performed at the station. It allows the user to select a remove
transaction or medication to document waste remotely through three methods—
Removed Meds, All Meds, and Undocumented Waste.
Removed Meds
The remove transaction list displays a list of removed items from the Pyxis
MedStation 4000 system or the Pyxis Anesthesia System for the selected patient.
All Meds
List displays all medications in the formulary.
Undocumented Waste
Undocumented Waste lists all remove transactions in which the removed quantity
is greater than the ordered dose.
