Electronic Prescribing and medicines administration (EPMA)
Our ePMA software is for electronic prescribing and medicine administration. The module enables trusts to manage prescriptions and medications digitally and ensure that patients receive the correct medication at the right time. It gives clear information on missed doses, and issues can be escalated automatically.
ePMA supports all prescribers, including doctors, nurses, and independent practitioners: Electronic prescribing is an essential part of safe healthcare delivery, which otherwise can result in wasted medicines, multimillion-pound litigation claims and, at the very worst, patient deaths.
