Problem
Neonatal and pediatric units face challenges in ensuring accuracy and safety in feeding management due to manual processes in feed preparation, administration, and tracking. These manual methods are prone to errors, can be time-consuming, and may hinder effective communication between parents and healthcare teams.
Solution
Keriton offers a HIPAA-compliant, automated barcode scanning platform designed to streamline and enhance inpatient feeding management in neonatal and pediatric units. The platform utilizes three integrated components—Kare Nurse, Kare Connect, and Kare Tech—to automate the entire feeding process, from order review and preparation to bedside administration. By implementing barcode scanning and multi-layered validation, Keriton mitigates feeding preparation and administration errors, eliminating the need for dual-nurse verification. The system also facilitates real-time communication and photo sharing between parents and the care team, enhancing the overall feeding experience and improving care outcomes.
