Semotus Solutions (AMEX:DLK), (formerly Datalink.net), a leading provider of mobile enterprise application software, today announced the launch of the Medication Usage Evaluation (MUE) software, an application designed to assist health care institutions to evaluate how individual drugs are used across various patient populations. Access to this vital information highlights areas that need improvement and allows effective solutions to be implemented.
Simkin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Semotus Solutions, designed the MUE program with the capability to report on numerous different factors and generate a multitude of customizable reports. Patient data, criteria compliance, drug monitoring, documentation, physician reporting and all communications can be entered into the program.
A comprehensive set of criteria from which to choose is included for quick user customizations. Preset criteria can be modified, deleted or updated with the use of the Add-A-Drug Module. Criteria are derived from medical literature reviewed by healthcare professionals globally.
Output from the MUE program consists of pre-designed and editable letters, which provide positive feedback to prescribers who meet the institution's MUE criteria guidelines, and specific details on each patient and drug to those not meeting defined guidelines. Users review reports that measure the performance of the institution and physicians against the criteria.
"There were more deaths last year in the United States for inappropriate drug use than in 10 years of the Vietnam War and an estimated $100 billion in health care resources was wasted due to adverse drug reactions, improper dosing and insufficient monitoring of drug effects," said Dr. J. Daniel Robinson, Inventor and President of Simkin, Inc. "The MUE Program provides a time-efficient tool to assist health care providers in the identification of where in their local practice sites these problems can be attacked. We have a prescription drug use crisis in our country and we need to identify the targets where efforts can best be utilized."
"Our innovative Medication Usage Software program acts as the key to ensuring that essential medical data is available to the health care institutions and their physicians," said Steve McAllister, President, eCommerce & mCommerce Division, Semotus Solutions. "In addition to maximizing efficiency of the workflow process and controlling the ever-increasing costs of healthcare, our MUE program deals with the foundation behind the ideology of healthcare, that is, patient care. The MUE program allows institutions and physicians to ensure that patients receive up-to-date correct data and are able to maintain an excellent quality of life."
The MUE program provides the mechanism to help streamline workflow procedures, control costs, formulate intervention strategies and improve patient care. The MUI training program consists of on-line assistance and support offered within the software, via telephone and email.
