Medical Administration Record (MAR) Label Printer

Downtime Solution: * The product must have the ability to attach to a bar-code scanner directly to the thermal printer statin, so that the printer/scanner stand-alone station can print patient demographic labels simply by scanning another label barcode. This printer/scanner statin downtime printing solution must work even when the hospital's network is down. * The product must have the ability to reformat the printer output from RPMS before it gets to the printer into a customizable and easily readable format. This format will need to change as needed. * The thermal printer station myst also have two Ethernet connections; one to connect to the hospital network for system interface and printing solutions, and another connect directly to a locale PC for the purpose of allowing the user to fill out a downtime form to print downtime labels and wristbands. this downtime solution based on a printer station's second Ethernet port connecting directly to the local PC must work even if the local hospital's network is down. * The printer station must provide a web based downtime application that can also be accessed by any web browser for the purpose of printing patient wristbands and labels when the Hospital Information System (RPMS) is down. Pharmacy IV and MAR Update Label Solutions: * The Pharmacy IV and MAR Label Update Labels printing product must be a pre-existing and currently installed solution that conforms the RPMS pharmacy system output to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices guidelines for inpatient pharmacy label formats, and that translates drug names into the FDA recommended Tall-Man Lettering form * Tall-Man Lettering is designed to reduce errors by altering the appearance of similar drug names and making them easily distinguisable. TML utilizes upper and lower case letters to idenify one drug from another by altering the way drug names appear on the label, two drugs similar in appearance now look drastically different. TML feature provides the customer a modifiable list of TML words, including the drug names established by the FDA's Office of Generic Drugs as prone to look-a-like medication errors. Lab Department: * The thermal printer station must have pre-established and currenlty used label formats and interfaces designed to reformat the RPMS and EHR Ward Collect Labels to the requirements beeded by the Lab department. All of the above solutions must function at the same time interchangeably, on the same thermal printer statin. The solution must also have interfaces and label formats for Medical Records, LAB Accession, Radiology, and embosser replacement.
