Welcome to Tjongerschans Hospital
a regional hospital in the north of the Netherlands.
We admit over 12,000 patients annually
and dispense hundreds of medication bags every day.
At the hospital pharmacy patient safety is a key priority.
That's why we use IRIS to inspect
correct, and document our medication dispensing process.
We've been using IRIS since 2016, and it's now a valuable asset in our daily workflow.
ZiuZ placed IRIS next to the dispensing machine.
This tabletop model fits nicely in a small location.
IRIS uses visual intelligence to check the medication bags at high speed.
It takes high-resolution pictures, and analyses thirteen parameters.
For example, IRIS detects small differences in colour and form
and can identify crumbs as small as 1 square millimetre.
IRIS supports up to five concurrent users.
At the viewing station only those bags that are identified as erroneous
need further analysis and correcting. This saves valuable time.
After correcting the medication bag the corrector takes a new picture
replaces the old one, and documents the results for later reference.
In this way a clear audit trail
and a complete archive of the pouch-checking process is created.
IRIS is very accurate, and documents all steps of the inspection process.
This helps to optimise patient safety at the hospital pharmacy.
Now, and in the future.
