INTRODUCTION TO MEDLINK™
The MedLink™ Mobile Technology Cart is a point-of-care solution that ensures safe, accurate medication administration.
MedLink™ is specifically designed to reduce human error, keep patients safe, and create a closed-loop medication system.
Improving Patient Safety
MedLink™ creates a closed-loop medication delivery system. Each drawer is electronically labeled in the MedLink™ system
and assigned to a specific patient. The individual, patient specific drawers are loaded with medication at the pharmacy, ADC, or
nursing station. When medication needs to be administered, only when that patient’s wristband is scanned, the drawer unlocks
automatically.
Increasing Accountability
Every event is recorded—log-ins, bar code scans, overrides and drawer opening/closing—introducing a new level of
accountability and visibility into the medication workflow.
Streamlining Workflows
MedLink™ offers significant efficiency gains for any healthcare organization. It streamlines the medication transportation
workflow and reduces medication errors. MedLink™’s intelligent automation optimizes medication administration, so caregivers
can focus on what truly matters—patient care.
