Electronic Prescription

Central Station

The system comprises three modules: Electronic Prescription, Therapy Administration and Central Station

Therapy Administration

Central Station module provides a condensed list of the active orders for all patients in the ICU; it is therefore the ideal complement for the other two modules.


Doctors can speedily and safely prescribe and overview therapies. Later, the prescriptions are automatically transformed in a detailed time-table, i.e. a list of single orders for nurses.

• Adjust vs. re-do
  You merely adjust the previous therapy on daily basis rather than restart from a blank prescription form.
• Use defaults
  All prescription items have their own default values (quantity, concentration, speed, amount, duration, etc., that are also automatically  associated with the patient's weight).Avoid mistakes, avoid calculation errors and save time by using the (user-defined) default values. In most cases a prescription is drafted by merely selecting the item in the list and confirming the proposed values. Adjustments are implemented with a click of the mouse.
• Increase quality of care and save time
  Prescribe, monitor and record highly precise treatment in less than ever before.

• Fully User-Configurable
  • 55 parameters are used to define each prescription with any  detail:
    name,
    description,
    amount, speed, concentration, dose, duration and measurement units,
    scheduling preferences,
    prescription notes,
    etc.
  • Define your classification of items according to action class, related organ and special filters.
  • Define therapy cycles from 12 to 48 hours.
  • Customize shifts and time tables.
• Beyond Data Safety: Fault Tolerance
  • Automated reports are generated on order to provide redundancy and fault tolerance.
  • A printed copy of both the patient management plan and administered treatment is steadily  updated. The department can switch from DIGISTAT®'s totally automated therapy system to the manual, hardcopy system at any  time,  with no loss of information!
  • The system can implement all the hardware and software safety, with redundancy processes, including automated data backup, disk mirroring and even Microsoft™ Wolfpack Server Clustering.
• Data Security
  • User Management: each user is assigned a detailed authorisation profile that only grants access to the selected function.
  • A Permission Controller constantly monitors the user.
  • A Log Book keeps record of all activity, down to the single keystroke.
