Semotus Solutions has been a leader in software products to support hospital pharmacists and improve patient care for nearly 20 years. These solutions calculate accurate doses for critical drugs, assist hospitals in obtaining and maintaining JCAHO accreditation, and manage adverse drug reactions. Now, using technology from Semotus, Simkin is extending the reach of its solutions to wireless handheld platforms. This allows caregivers to access and update critical information at the bedside, or anywhere.

Instant communications between the pharmacy, laboratory, and physician make it possible to quickly isolate inappropriate or sub-optimal drug therapies, react to dangerous indications from lab results, and coordinate imaging results. All of these result in shorter patients stays, reduced anxiety, and improved care. Another new solution for hospital pharmacies will allow them to track interventions and other clinical activities, demonstrating improvements in patient care and proving overall cost reductions.
