The Pharmapod partnership with Numark creates a place whereby Numark members can record incidents and near misses in a timely manner.

Striving for excellence in patient safety has always been of upmost importance to the Numark corporation. The integration of Pharmapod’s technology will aid with the fulfillment of this mission.

Pharmapod’s dynamic software which replaces the more manual, paper based approach is used globally. Pharmapod is a cloud based system meaning that members can access it on multiple devices and in multiple locations. Promoting a collaborative learning approach, the Pharmapod system has been proven to promote the recording of incidents and near misses, ultimately leading to a reduction in errors, due to the shared learnings which are realised.

The launch of the Pharmapod system in September this year will support Numark’s medication safety officer status and will enable them to collate and analyse incident data to identify key trends in error reporting. These trends could include identification of the most common selection errors, frequently reported contributing factors and the most commonly reported incident types such as wrong drug, strength or form.

“We had a webinar with Pharmapod and literally in minutes we could see the benefits we would get from the portal. A portal to log onto that helps us maintain a high level of clinical governance. We will be rolling this out to our staff over the coming weeks for our sops, company policies, logging near misses and incidents.” (Kasli Pharmacy)
