MassChallenge Texas: Vigilant Softwares Anesthesia Solution Could Save Hospitals Revenue and Risk
Summary
Guidelines are established by the U.S. Pharmacopeia, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, American Society of Anesthesiologists, ASTM, and Institute for Safe Medication Practices, but according to Baek, they sometimes are not followed. That’s why Baek decided to found Vigilant Solution in 2017, as an efficient way to make compliant labels for syringes, without sacrificing safety. Vigilant Software provides a patented solution to automate the documentation and label generation of drugs prepared at point-of-care, as opposed to the pharmacy. “The process to comply with safety procedures and document the drug administration is extremely cumbersome,” he told Dallas Innovates. The antiquated processes that Vigilant is replacing incorporate pre-printed paper labels that reside on the anesthesia cart to place on syringes to identify a patient’s drugs.
