What is Safe Scan?
Spring Hill Regional Hospital was among the first hospitals in the nation to introduce the revolutionary SafeScan technology, which ensures the right medications are given to the right patients, in the right doses, at the right times. Nurses use these wireless devices – linked real time to pharmacy information – to scan barcodes on their badge, the patient’s wristband, and each medication prescribed for that patient. The handheld device requires comprehensive interactive documentation which assures safety through accurate medication administration.
