ORCA & MINE8 INTEGRATION
OccuMED has partnered with Mine8 by Modeus to bring an integrated solution for Medicine Management in Remote and Distributed Settings.
The integration between OccuMED’s ORCA application and Mine8 allows sites to enter medication register records and simultaneously update inventory for sites. Being a fully paperless system, sites will be able to use Mine8 as a replacement for maintaining a paper-based HA14 Drug Register. Mine8 is WA’s only approved electronic alternative to the HA14 register.
This integration provides total audit certainty for your Poisons Permit. It simplifies your operations by:
- Streamlining Logging: Digitising the entire reconciliation process.
- Reducing Risk: Increasing visibility to prevent drug diversion.
- Ensuring Compliance: Effortless tracking and reporting to meet all regulatory body requirements.
