LONGUEUIL, Quebec, Dec. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergy Medical
today announced an exclusive partnership with MedEye. MedEye has
been on the market in Europe since
2016 and has had significant success in preventing medication
errors at the patient bedside, in both hospital and Long-Term Care
settings. Given Synergy Medical's long track record with
accurate medication dispensing technology, and a packaging offering
that is ideal for assisted living and long-term care environments,
MedEye has chosen to work with Synergy Medical to introduce the
technology in North America.
"Synergy Medical has developed proven technology to ensure
accurate and efficient filling of blister packs. Multi-dose
blister packs are noted to save time and reduce errors during
medication administration. MedEye will complete the loop and
capture any potential errors at the patient bedside. The
technology can be integrated into any eMAR system
and helps the nurse to verify all 5
'Rights' at once. Right Patient, Right Medication, Right Time,
Right Route, Right Dose," says President & Founder,
Jean Boutin. "We are partnered with
the top Pharmacy operators in North
America, all of whom put patient safety at the top of their
priority list. We look forward to working with them and their
customers to make MedEye scanning technology the new standard in
LTC."
Gauti Reynisson, co-founder of MedEye commented: "Every patient
who suffers harm due to an avoidable medication error is one too
many. Avoidable errors also lead to additional costs for healthcare
facilities and the taxpayer. We have observed that following
adoption of MedEye, error rates drop quickly because of the
system's ability to identify weaknesses in the medication process
and prevent those errors from recurring. MedEye doesn't just catch
the errors that reach the bedside, but also ensures that the whole
process is made safer and more efficient."
Synergy Medical is based in Longueuil,
Quebec, and from 2008 has been designing, manufacturing and
installing automated systems that allow pharmacies to efficiently
and accurately prepare compliance packs: specialized pill boxes
that enable patients to adhere to their medication regimens.
Synergy Medical has installed close to 500 SynMed® XF and
SynMed® ULTRA systems throughout North
America and in Europe, in
independent pharmacies as well as in centralized production
facilities for pharmacy chains. The client list of this leader
in automated dispensing already includes the largest pharmacy
chains in Canada: Shoppers Drug
Mart, and the US: CVS/Omnicare.
MedEye is an AI-powered visual verification system that
accurately and efficiently identifies and registers that the
correct medications are being administered at the
bedside. MedEye acts as a second nurse for faster and safer
verification, while saving time and costs for hospitals and
long-term care facilities.
