eAnytime unveils next-gen medicine-dispensing kiosk

May 23, 2006

COLUMBUS, Ohio - eAnytime Kiosks Inc. introduced its next-generation Medication Dispensing System (MDS), designed to be DEA compliant, at the AATOD National Conference. The MDS was developed in cooperation with the McLeod Addictive Disease Centers and Ivek Corporation for dispensing liquid as well as solid medications.

The eAnytime MDS features patent pending, patient-activated computerized on-wall or counter information stations, which provide bilingual direction to patients, assuring timely service. The system incorporates computerized counter liquid-medication dispensing stations, which accurately and efficiently dispense by density and volume the quantity of one, or two medications prescribed for a specific patient. The stations are patient-empowered and also are used by medical staff for dispensing take-home medication, which is dispensed full-strength or blended in exact ratio with recommended additives.

The device uses assigned key ring barcode tags for identification of registrars, patients, medical staff, counselors, cashiers and administrators. Biometrics finger scanning is used for verification of registrars, patients, medical staff or passwords for counselors, cashiers and administrators.

The eAnytime MDS supports customized and automatic service and medication scheduling. It tracks center staff authorizations and activities, medication dispensing, inventory and use of medication. Center personnel can access and add notes to patient records and view on-demand predefined reports online that can be printed through individual sessions restricted to management and staff within respective groups, based on classification. The system functions as an information-gathering vehicle with the ability to automatically transfer relevant information to computerized patient care systems with provided interface.
