Compliance, Efficiency and Independence in Aged Care with Sasha

The Challenge in RACFs

Managing medication is often a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. Nurses spend hours every day on medication rounds, which involves manual handling — a common source of medication errors. Heavy medication trolleys make rounds laborious and pose work health and safety issues.

Additionally, some residents wish to manage their own medications but are unable to do so safely without help, limiting their independence and autonomy.

Sasha makes medication management efficient, safe, and empowering.

How Sasha Works in RACF

For Nurse-Administered Residents

Instead of heavy trolleys and manual documentation, Sasha enables nurses to administer doses efficiently and compliantly directly at the resident's bedside. This reduces manual handling, saves time, and minimises errors.

For Self-Administered Residents

Sasha allows suitable residents to manage their own scheduled medications safely. It replaces pill bottles and organisers prone to errors, while maintaining clinical oversight and ensuring compliance.

For PRN Residents

Residents can request PRN medications as needed. Sasha's lock-out mechanism prevents overuse by restricting access if requests exceed prescribed limits. It also tracks all requests, highlighting unaddressed symptoms and indicating when a medication review may be necessary.

Benefits that Make a Real Difference

Sasha is easy to use, enabling eligible residents to manage their medications independently and safely. Sasha reduces reliance on staff where appropriate while maintaining clinical oversight.

Enhanced Safety and Security

Pharmacist-packed doses, dose scheduling and a lock-out mechanism reduce medication errors for all residents. Biometric access prevents unauthorised use, ensuring the right medication reaches the right person.

Sasha can be used for both scheduled and PRN medications, or for medication administered by a nurse.
