• Record all medication activity in multiple daily administration rounds in real time.
• Report real time, accurate information regarding operational service delivery.
• Provide key assurance on the safe and effective administration of medication across residential services.
• Provide wrap around support for service users and staff to enable a more person-centred approach.
• Have a modern intuitive user interface to enable all users to safely administer the medications - as a minimum the system must meet the requirements of EN 301 549.
• Be usable on standard Cumbria County Council laptops and desktop computers.
The new system must also be able to support medicine management with wider community services, and health partners such as GPs, Pharmacies, and District Nursing Teams.
