Addressing the Opioid Shortage

Avancen MOD Corporation

The Medication on Demand (MOD) wireless, oral PCA system from Avancen MOD Corporation addresses the parenteral opioid shortage with equally effective, lower-cost oral medications. The MOD device provides pharmacy and clinical staff real-time use and tracking data for PRN pain medications in compliance with regulatory requirements. Comprehensive medication chain-of-possession data (pharmacy to patient) by staff/unit is available, and patient pain scores are collected and graphed to support better provider prescribing patterns and discharge prescription information. The MOD system reduces the potential for medication and documentation errors as well as diversion, as all events and pain scores are device-documented and reported through the EHR.
