Vigilan Adds Medication Management To CARE Suite For Senior Living Management

Partnership Med Management Technology increases accuracy and efficiency leading to higher quality care

Portland, OR /PRNewswire/ -- Vigilan, the leader in software for better senior living, announced today its partnership with Med Management Technology to integrate its QuickMAR medication management system into Vigilan's CARE Suite for assisted living, independent living, and dementia care communities. By adding QuickMAR to Vigilan's product suite, assisted living care providers can manage the resident's daily living care plan with greater accuracy while saving time in administering medications to each resident.

"By harnessing the power of technology to improve medication management, assisted living and dementia care communities can reduce the risk of error and simplify medication administration, record keeping, and reordering," said Reed DeMordaunt, CEO of Med Management Technology. "Integrating our MAR with Vigilan's CARE Suite gives both residents and their families a streamlined delivery system that focuses on care and accuracy."

QuickMAR safeguards against medication errors by providing active reminders and alerts to caregivers that automate the timely delivery of the correct medications to care residents. Vigilan customers can seamlessly add QuickMAR to their current operational software suite to streamline medication management into any care plan, resident assessment, and billing process.

"During our recent customer survey over half of our customers said adding medication management was one of the most important things we could do. We are listening and we are pleased to find a partner that can help our customers save time and improve the quality of the care delivered," said Doug Fullaway, president and COO of Vigilan. "With an electronic MAR, care providers can eliminate the error-prone task of flipping through page after page of medication instructions. The system pinpoints exactly what needs to be done for each resident and effectively alerts the care provider with reminders for accuracy. The system can also generate a recap of the data in a presentable format for care conferences, doctor visits, or review by nurses."
