MediCopia is a system for inpatient caregiving that was designed by hospital professionals. MediCopia's automated computer system offers four technologies in a compact system weighing under three pounds! These four technologies are a handheld computer (for work order processing), bar code scanner (for positive patient identification), thermal printer (for label generation at bedside) and an integrated wireless radio (for receiving realtime transmissions). Utilizing handheld technology reduces costs, improves workflow, and eliminates preventable medical errors. By collecting data electronically, you eliminate the paperwork normally involved while increasing the accuracy of the collected information in a more timely manner. Medical records can be updated more efficiently and billing can be recorded without manual input into the hospital billing system.


MediCopia Phlebotomy Application

 

MediCopia insures only validated caregivers can access patient information. A second level of security is applied when MediCopia reads the patients' bar coded wristband, verifying both the patient and the ordered tests. MediCopia indicates the tests, appropriate tubes, and quantity of tubes required for the patient and generates bar coded laboratory labels for tube identification at the patients' bedside. This eliminates mislabeling because the only labels available are the ones printed for that particular patient. MediCopia automatically time stamps operations, providing physicians with valuable information on when samples were drawn. All completed draws are sent, via the handheld computer, back to the LIS (Laboratory Information System) for reconciliation. And MediCopia's integrated wireless radio technology allows the caregiver to receive non-sweep and stat test orders on the handheld unit without having to return to the docking station.


Other MediCopia Applications

MediCopia modules include phlebotomy, billing, and pharmacy. MediCopia is being expanded to include data collection modules for transfusion, respiratory, and EKG.


Benefits

MediCopia improves the efficiency of your caregivers by allowing them to follow a logical flow rather that sorting through paper-based work orders. Patient verification and printing labels happen at bedside, reducing the cost of reworks by making sure you have the right patient and eliminating the potential of mislabeling. MediCopia also interfaces to your HIS/LIS so that the collected data can be automatically integrated, saving personnel time and data entry costs.

As you can see, MediCopia saves time and money providing numerous benefits while reducing the cost of collecting patient data. It increases the efficiency of your caregivers, minimizes error rates, collects additional information, eliminates data entry costs, reduces the time required to make data available in your HIS/LIS, and most importantly, improves the care given to your patients. And MediCopia can be customized to meet your specific needs.
