Electronic Medication Orders with AI-Driven Clinical Validation
Medication requests are created directly from clinical services as electronic medication orders within Sarus EHR.
During order creation, every medication order is automatically analyzed by integrated clinical decision support and AI-based safety engines.
These systems continuously evaluate:
drug–drug interactions
drug–allergy conflicts
contraindications
nutrition and clinical context related risks
duplicate therapies and dose deviations
AI-supported validation is applied in real time at the moment of prescribing, allowing physicians to receive immediate safety warnings and clinical recommendations before the order is finalized.
Multiple prescribing approaches are supported, including medication name, generic name and ATC classification, enabling standardized and structured medication ordering across the hospital.
AI-Assisted Pharmacy Order Review and Fulfillment
All electronic medication orders are transmitted to the pharmacy in real time through the Sarus EHR pharmacy workflow.
During pharmacy review and fulfillment, each order is again evaluated by the same integrated clinical decision support and AI engines.
This second validation layer ensures that potential safety risks, substitutions, formulation differences and availability-related changes remain clinically appropriate.
AI-supported checks can therefore be applied both:
during the physician order phase, and
during the pharmacy fulfillment and preparation phase.
This dual-stage validation model significantly strengthens medication safety and reduces clinical risk.
Patient-Specific Medication Packaging and Barcode Control
After pharmacy verification, medications are prepared and labeled on a patient-specific basis.
Each medication item is assigned a unique barcode and assembled into a complete patient-based medication package for the requesting clinical service.
All preparation, labeling and packaging activities are fully barcode driven and automatically recorded within Sarus EHR, including:
who prepared the medication
when it was prepared
for which patient and order it was issued.
This enables full operational traceability and audit readiness.
Closed-Loop Delivery and Bedside Administration
Prepared patient-specific medication packages are transferred to the clinical services.
At the point of care, nurses administer medications using mobile devices fully integrated with Sarus EHR.
Before administration, Sarus EHR performs real-time bedside verification using barcode scanning to confirm:
the correct patient
the correct medication
the correct dose
the correct time
and the correct administration route.
Any deviation from the validated medication order is immediately detected and flagged by the system.
Continuous AI-Based Safety Monitoring Across the Entire Workflow
Sarus EHR continuously monitors medication workflows using integrated clinical decision support and AI services throughout the entire lifecycle:
order creation
pharmacy verification
medication preparation
delivery to clinical services
and bedside administration.
AI-driven monitoring allows clinical teams to identify risks early, prevent adverse events and enforce institutional medication safety policies consistently across all departments.
Clinical Quality Management and Full Traceability
All medication-related activities are recorded in real time and become part of the patient’s longitudinal clinical record.
This closed-loop medication order and dispensing workflow provides:
full audit trails
real-time operational visibility
compliance and performance reporting
and measurable clinical quality indicators.
In highly digitalized environments such as Istanbul Bahçelievler Hospital — a HIMSS EMRAM and O-EMRAM Level 7 hospital — Sarus EHR enables standardized medication safety practices and advanced clinical governance across the entire medication lifecycle.
Proven at Scale in Large Digital Hospitals
This AI-supported closed-loop medication order and dispensing workflow is currently operating in large-scale digital hospital environments, including Istanbul Bahçelievler Hospital, and across Sarus EHR international deployments.
By connecting clinical services, pharmacy operations and bedside administration into a single digital ecosystem, Sarus EHR enables safer medication delivery, higher operational efficiency and measurable improvements in patient safety.
