Guided Clinical Solutions

Insufficient sources to start generationGuided Clinical Solutions is a health technology company that has developed GuidedOR, a real-time medication safety software platform for operating rooms. GuidedOR integrates with clinical systems and operates on OR computers to provide critical safety checks during medication administration. The software offers patient-specific information, including recommended dosages based on factors such as age, weight, and medical history, and alerts for allergies or other critical issues. When clinicians scan medication barcodes, GuidedOR provides this information and automatically sends it to the electronic health record for documentation, improving OR efficiency and saving approximately 20% of clinicians' time. The platform also reminds clinicians of important medications or tests that may have been overlooked.

The company's technology addresses a significant safety gap in operating rooms, where standard safeguards for preventing medication errors are often unavailable due to the fast-paced environment and rapidly changing patient conditions. Studies have shown that about one in 25 medication administrations in the OR involves an error, with 40% of operations experiencing at least one medication error. GuidedOR aims to reduce these errors and improve patient safety in surgical settings. In December 2023, GuidedOR won first place at the AMIA/HL7 FHIR App Competition, showcasing its innovative use of Fast healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) for accessing patient data across health information technology systems.
