CareMeds
HBS Pharmacy provides CareMeds, total patient medication administration system that delivers oral tablets and reduces patient administration time.
Enhancing patient care and reducing errors
CareMeds from HBS is a single system for administering solid oral tablets and capsules.
We provide Patient information sheets and MARS charts, giving you the ability to make the process of medication administration easier.
Using CareMeds
Delivered direct from local HBS pharmacy in convenient patient packs containing a tray with 28 individual tamper-evident medicine pods. Every pod is pre-sealed into the tray and can be easily removed from the tray without affecting the individual tamper-evident pod seal.
The tamper evident seals used on each pod ensure that the medication is kept securely within the pod.
Once peeled, the seal will not stick down again ensuring the drugs are used as the Pharmacist intended. This way you can be sure that at the point of administration, the right drugs are being administered providing extra security and accountability.
Trays include patient pictures so even temporary staff will be confident in knowing the right patient receives the correct medication. Once the pod is peeled the drug can be administered immediately removing the need for cups.
