Where safety breaks

A correct order is not enough.

Medication safety often fails between systems: when clinical intent leaves the EHR, when pharmacy authorization becomes a physical handoff, or when bedside action is disconnected from inventory.

Sarus keeps the order, approval, movement, administration and return on one attributable record — one workflow within the enterprise hospital information system, with Sarus EHR as the clinical core.

One continuous workflow

From clinical intent to verified administration.

People, systems and medication movement remain synchronized at every checkpoint.

Knowledge guide

Questions healthcare leaders ask.

What is closed-loop medication management?

It is an end-to-end digital workflow that verifies and records each medication step, from physician ordering and pharmacy approval to dispensing, bedside administration and returns.

How does the medication cabinet integration work?

Approved, patient-specific medication requests are transmitted to the automated dispensing cabinet system. Authorized staff retrieve medication while dispensing and return events are recorded against the clinical workflow.

Can Sarus integrate with an existing pharmacy or cabinet system?

The architecture is designed to connect clinical, pharmacy and dispensing environments through standards-based (HL7/FHIR) and project-specific integrations.

Which medication events become auditable?

Orders, validations, approvals, preparation, dispensing, bedside administration, cancellations and returns can be tracked as part of the unified medication record.
