Prairie Mountain Health has implemented and will continue to build, strong policies and procedures around medication security.
Jane Lamont, Director of Pharmacy for PMH, explains the new automated dispensing cabinets.
“So we’re moving forward into even more security around the automation of medication dispensing. That would be a system where we’re using automated dispensing cabinets, which has actually recently gone live in Dauphin and which adds on an increased level of security where any access to medication requires the use of fingerprint technology in order to access medication.”
PMH plans to implement these automated dispensing cabinets in other facilities in the region in the near future.
