- BRAUN MEDICAL is committed to improving patient safety and reducing the incidence of avoidable medication errors to meet NHS Domain 5 objectives.
Some 138,117 medication errors were reported to the NHS NRLS in one year (April 2012- March 2013). However, there is significant under reporting and estimates are closer to half a million medication errors at the point of care each year. Around 38% of medication errors occur at the administration stage of the medication process.
B. Braun DoseGuard prevents an under/over-dose by limiting the infusion range for each drug type and concentration, actively preventing medication errors. It also records every hard and soft limit event for audit of compliance and optimisation of drug limits and training. B. Braun Space Online Suite simplifies safe and efficient infusion management throughout hospitals, with real time upload and download of all infusion data.
