SaMD Development for Personalized Medication Dosage Calculation

Pharmacy Network X faces challenges with medication errors due to manual dosage calculations, time-consuming data retrieval from disparate systems (EHRs, PDMPs), and the need to streamline the prescribing process for their pharmacists. This results in reduced efficiency, increased risk of errors, and strain on staff resources.

A large, multi-state pharmacy network specializing in chronic disease management, employing condition-specific pharmacists.

• Reduce medication errors by automating dosage calculation.
• Improve pharmacist efficiency by streamlining the prescribing workflow.
• Automate the process of retrieving and integrating patient data from various sources.
• Achieve FDA clearance for the SaMD solution.
• Reduce patient processing time related to medication prescriptions.

• Patient data aggregation from EHRs and PDMPs.
• Automated drug dosage calculation engine.
• Integration with PDMPs for real-time prescription history.
• User-friendly UI/UX for easy navigation and calculation.
• Detailed reporting and documentation for FDA clearance.
• Ability to handle multiple patient cases simultaneously.
• Secure storage and management of patient data.

• EHR systems (multiple vendors)
• Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs)
• Potentially other clinical decision support systems

• High accuracy in dosage calculations.
• Scalability to accommodate a growing user base.
• High availability and reliability.
• Robust security to protect patient data (HIPAA compliance).
• Compliance with FDA regulations for SaMD.
• Performance: Fast calculation times

Successful implementation of this SaMD solution is expected to significantly reduce medication errors, improve pharmacist productivity, streamline the prescribing process, and ultimately enhance patient safety. The project is anticipated to result in a 30% reduction in patient processing time and a 10-minute reduction in prescription calculation time per prescription.
