As Hospitals Work to Solve Drug Diversion Problem, LogicStream Health Expands Pharmacy Software Suite by Introducing The Drug Diversion App
Summary
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LogicStream Health, a leading clinical process improvement and control software provider supporting hundreds of hospitals nationwide, introduced new software that helps hospital pharmacy teams proactively manage and better control drug diversion activity. According to Patrick Yoder, PharmD, CEO and co-founder of LogicStream Health, “The Drug Diversion App is truly unique because it aggregates electronic health record (EHR), automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) and carousel data, as well as other data sources to produce an ongoing stream of information and notification of potential diversion activity.” Dr. Yoder said The Drug Diversion App “provides active surveillance of drug ordering, administration and all dispensation activities, signaling to administrators and clinical leaders which clinicians are potentially diverting drugs.” The App combines multiple data sources to detect warning signs attributable to an individual, rather than comparing data medication by medication. “This approach allows for a deeper investigation leading to a decision to intervene or to dismiss warning signals, all from within The App.” The Drug Diversion App is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2020, with several innovation partners beginning use in January. The company will be located at Booth #2453 in the ASHP Exhibit Hall, Bayside C. LogicStream Health is trusted by a community of high-performing healthcare providers across the United States. LogicStream Health software today is supporting hundreds of hospitals on a scalable and sustainable technology platform to standardize processes and deliver highly reliable healthcare.
