Domiciliary Care
Lack of patient compliance in the community is a major contributor to
hospital admission. The Biodose Total Medication Management
(ToMM) system provides the ideal solution for
monitoring administration and compliance in the community
setting. Biodose provides major benefits and technological
advantages over traditional Monitored
Dosage Systems (MDS) in a
number of key areas.
Biodose is the first system able to handle solid oral tablets and capsules, together with
liquid medications. In the domiciliary care setting this presents a number of new
opportunities and additional safeguards, especially where a number of different carers
are involved with treating patients with learning difficulties, arthritis, dysphasia, dementia
or complicating disabilities.
The ability to administer monitored doses of liquid medications in the domiciliary care
setting assists with patient compliance and accountability.
The Biodose system sealed Trays contain patient and drug identification information and
because each Pod within the Tray can be individually removed, they are labelled
with patient name, date, time of day and individual drug details of the pharmaceutical
preparations contained within each Pod.
The individual medicine Pods contain a tamper-evident liquid-tight seal providing
security for the patient and ensuring that liquid dosages remain intact and
unadulterated prior to opening.
The medicine Pods designed in such as
way to be ergonomic, with easy-remove
seals, and are intended to be used instead
of medicine cups or spoons, making the
whole process quick, clean and simple.
Furthermore, because the Biodose
system contains BioCote protection,
this helps prevent MRSA, important
in treating patients at risk of infection.
Pharmacists can supply MARS charts
and Patient Information Sheets where
necessary, to further assist in helping
carers provide a higher standard of
medication management in
domiciliary care.
