SAN DIEGO, CA & DUNCAN OK – IntelliDOT™ Corporation, an information management platform provider of safety and efficiency systems in health care, and Duncan Regional Hospital are pleased to announce the successful facility wide implementation of the CAREt™ Bedside Medication Administration (BMA) System. Duncan Regional Hospital is a 155-bed acute care hospital located in southwest Oklahoma and was recently ranked as one of the 100 Top Hospitals in the nation, according to a 2005 study released by Solucient: Top 100 Hospitals National Benchmarks for Success, March ‘06.

The turn-key implementation was initiated on January 16, 2007 with a dedicated on-site IntelliDOT team. The first patient care area was live and running successfully on April 16, 2007, 90 days after project kickoff. The final unit went live on July 10, 2007. The entire house-wide implementation was completed in only 176 days.

The IntelliDOT BMA System eliminates medication errors by matching the correct patient with the correct medication and method of delivery at the bedside. At 8 oz. and 14 hour battery life, the CAREt Handheld device is easily carried for the entire shift by the clinician. The handheld provides the caregiver with information anywhere in the facility while collecting critical information at the point of care. The BMA module interconnects with the Hospital Information System (HIS) and other IntelliDOT information management modules using the same handheld device. The CAREt System can also guide phlebotomists and nurses through the specimen collection process, match mothers and babies with the correct containers of breast milk, and accurately collect and record key vital signs information.

“Working with IntelliDOT’s implementation team was one of the best experiences we have encountered when installing new hardware or software into the hospital. The team was on-site throughout the entire process; assisting pharmacy with bar coding, leading class room training for nurses, and ensuring accurate configuration of the system” said Roger Neal, CIO of Duncan Regional Hospital. “Patient safety and Quality Care are our top goals and the Intellidot System was the best system out there helping to meet those objectives.”

“Duncan Regional Hospital was extremely supportive throughout the implementation process”, said Shawn Orr, Vice President of Field Operations for IntelliDOT. “It was apparent that the entire hospital staff welcomed the CAREt System and this new measure of safety.”
