Transforming Pain Management at the Bedside is as easy as 1...2...3!

The device is delivered to the patient's bedside and locked onto an IV pole within easy reach of the patient. The patient wears a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) wristband that has been programmed into the device. When the lock-out interval has passed, the patient sees the bright green ready light on the MOD®. To request a dose of medication the patient follows these three easy steps:

• Touches the pain scale to record the pain level and activate the RFID reader within the device
• Scans the RFID wristband over the front of the device to turn the tray to the open position
• Removes a single pill from the device and takes the medication
• Patient reassess pain value after predetermined interval

Clinical trials have shown that patients who have the ability to access their own pain medications report better pain control and overall satisfaction. The MOD® allows an improved transition from the intravenous PCA to an oral PCA pain program prior to discharge.

Nursing time saved with the MOD® use will free up more time to devote to better quality care. Additionally, allowing patients controlled access to their own pain medication decreases the moral stress nurses often experience when balancing concurrent patient needs during any given shift.

The MOD® Device offers bi-directional wireless functionality and integration with electronic record systems to seamlessly transfer essential pain scores and pain data for each patient to their individual electronic health record. In addition, Avancen’s MOD® Device solutions include a state of the art MS Sequel database with query and report generation as part of the product offering, capturing all of the facility’s pain data for all patients in all units 24/7, allowing for rapid assessment of the efficacy of pain therapy and identification of needed therapy changes within a few clicks.

Safer, More Cost Effective Care

The MOD® may help hospitals reduce costs in materials, equipment and staff time. Pain management with oral medications is the preferred route of control once patients can take oral medications. The MOD® is an easier, safer, non-invasive PCA device. There is less risk of medication errors since eight doses of the same medication are validated at one time.

The MOD® oral PCA device provides healthcare facilities an improved way to manage pain at the bedside.

• A patient's pain score is recorded with each dose for TJC compliance.
• Bedside access to the device is secure and controlled using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.
• The device eliminates the need for a patient to request a dose from the nurse and wait for the delivery of the medication each time oral pain medication is needed.
