Pharmaceuticals must always be available in the correct quantity, in perfect quality and at the right place.
The Clinical Centre of Dahme-Spreewald GmbH is home to the Achenbach Hospital in Königs Wusterhausen and the Spreewald Clinic in Lübben. Both houses belong to the Sana Hospital Group. The pharmacy of our clinic at the Spreewald location ensures that the correct medicines are available in the exact quantity and the best possible quality, at the right place, at the right time. The Clinical Pharmacy provides hospitals and rescue services, including a variety of different disciplines.
The problem
Most medicines must be stored in one of the following temperature ranges:
- Room temperature: Between 15°C and 25°C (or between 15°C and 30°C where specifically noted)
- In the refrigerator: Between 2°C and 8°C
- Frozen: at -18°C or colder
Compliance with the temperature ranges of eleven refrigerators and eighteen additional room temperatures must be constantly monitored and regularly documented.
The solution
SenseAnywhere provides a solution that allows data to be collected centrally from all measurement sites and to send warning messages, thus eliminating the need for a hand-written audit trail. Given the system has proven to be very successful, we will expand it in the future to include eighteen more room temperature measuring points using these sensors.
