Description
The Indian Health Service is seeking to identify Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) capable of performing the requirement for a highly automated, completely walk away will call system for the safe and accurate dispensing of patient medications. The system must utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and bar codes to accurately direct pharmacy staff to the correct patient’s medication based on data entry. The system must also allow for audits of all transactions, facilitate locked storage of controlled dangerous substances, and ensure Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance. Key features of the system include:
* Utilization of RFID technology and bar codes
* Auditing of all transactions
* Locked storage of controlled substances
* HIPAA compliance
* Interoperability with Cerner PATH EHR systems
* Successful history of implementation within federal IHS sites
* Ability to fit within the confines of the current solution within the Anadarko Indian Health Center Pharmacy and Lawton Indian Hospital
