Cerner Bridge 3.3

The Cerner Bridge Medical platform offers a comprehensive, web-based suite of tools aimed at enhancing patient safety through positive patient identification (PPID) directly at the bedside. Its integration of bar-code technology seeks to streamline workflows and improve efficiency within healthcare settings. The system is specifically designed for use with a dedicated scanner sled.

Transfusion Administration functionality allows healthcare providers to accurately identify patients and verify blood product administration by scanning relevant bar-code labels. This process compares the recipient document from the blood bank with the donor bank label on the blood product, promoting correct transfusion practices.

The Specimen Collections component supports precise patient identification and specimen verification at the point of collection. Utilizing real-time collection lists and standardized procedures, it aims to reduce errors during sample handling and documentation.

Breast Milk Management facilitates accurate patient identification and proper management of breast milk. By scanning bottle labels, caregivers can confirm that the correct milk is administered to the intended patient, thereby maintaining safety standards.

It is important to note that deployment of Cerner Bridge Medical solutions requires a valid license and a system release of 2015.01.01 or higher. Healthcare organizations should verify availability through their IT department or Cerner representative. For additional information, please contact 1-800-927-1024.
