Healthcare simulation is guided by the use of clinical simulation products and resources that assist with the overall training experience. To provide the means for enhanced learning outcomes among current and future nurses, the medical equipment manufacturing company, Medical Shipment, distributes the BD Pyxis MedStation ES. This is an automated medication dispensing system supporting decentralized medication management. This HealthySimulation.com article shares how the product
By storing medication and patient information in one place, nursing learners are able to obtain the information they need quicker than ever before. Ultimately, they do this by starting at the “My Patients” screen in the Pyxis MedStation ES system. From here, the workflow helps ensure the learners are always focusing on what’s most important—their patients.
Additionally, BD Pyxis MedStation ES benefits nursing learners through “speed with safety,” with the ability to dispense medication in only four steps in five seconds. This means that the Pyxis MedStation ES system can help nurses dispense the right medication for the right patient at the right time. Added safety enhancements, such as clearly highlighting patients with the same last name, are included to help reduce the risk of potentially harmful errors.
Further, increased medication availability is made possible through flexible, reliable, smart CUBIE pocket technology. Using enhanced, smart CUBIE technology, the Pyxis MedStation ES system improves efficiency and enhances medication safety. Half-height and full-height smart CUBIE pockets also provide flexible, configurable capacity to store all types of medications, bringing more medications to care areas.
An “all-in-one” solution, BD Pyxis MedStation ES is ultimately designed to help nursing learners, in addition to other clinical learners, improve medication safety, streamline standardization efforts and reduce costs. Powered by the Pyxis EnterpriseServer, the strength of the Pyxis ES platform lies in the ability to integrate with health information technology (HIT) across the health system. This integration supports centralized control of medication-dispensing systems and gives the learner the data they need — when and where they need this information — for both immediate decision-making and reporting.
In the video below, Kelly Larrabee-Robke DNP, MBA, MS, RN. AVP and Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at Ascension, walks viewers through a few features of the actual hardware and software configuration of the Pyxis MedStation ES system. The goal of the video is to help lab coordinators, instructors, and faculty prepare learners for the optimal experience and the intuitive look and feel of how the equipment and the system operate to support nursing care workflows.
Other Pyxis ES Platform Advantages
As a combination of hardware and software solutions, the Pyxis ES platform provides simple, safe clinical workflows centered on the patient. When utilizing this product, learners benefit from minimal disruptions, delays, and risk of medication errors. The system allows access from any hospital, computer, or web browser, and leverages centralized configuration efforts across the health system.
The Pyxis ES also facilitates compliance with select regulatory requirements and reduces an IT footprint, and leverages existing investments. Learners can engage in meaningful integration with healthcare information technology(HIT) systems, and increased security and the capacity of storing larger medications are made possible with full-height CUBIE pockets. All Pyxis MedStation ES products include shipping, installation, training, and 1-year warranty.
