HCS enables safer medication administration documentation by reading unit dose barcode labels and reconciling that information within the patient’s medication record. Organizations achieved a 33% reduction in medication administration errors and 45% reduction in documentation time.
Visual alerts track adherence regarding due and overdue medications, responses, and therapies. Our status board allows clinicians to quickly look at a group of patients to determine if any medication needs to be administered and provides tools for clinical documentation surrounding any dose not administered or given late.
This popular module (patent # US11869638) is an observation patient rounding tool (q5/q15/q30/q60) that eliminates the dated paper process. It also accurately captures patient location and status as well as the location of the clinician at time of documentation.
From clinical alerts and therapeutic substitutions to intelligently derived problem lists and guided, template-drive treatment planning we support the clinical decision making process.
Compliance is enhanced when patients are educated, whether it is when a medication is given for the first time or as part of discharge planning. We provide tools for documenting patient understanding and follow-up.

What Our Customers Are Saying
“Northern Path Recovery’s successful go-live was made possible with the support of our electronic medical system, HCS. By providing a reliable and efficient platform, HCS ensured a smooth transition while prioritizing patient safety and operational excellence every step of the way. I’m so very appreciative of the expertise offered to my staff.”
Nat Williams
“Our hospital system selected HCS to help us implement a full documentation system which augmented the pharmacy module we had been using at one of our 147 bed free-standing psychiatric hospitals. HCS worked with our key clinical leaders in designing our assessments and workflows for the new documentation modules. They customized our electronic bed board as well to enhance our operations. Over the past three years, we have implemented the EMR to our sister sites as well.
HCS is responsive to changes we request for our clinical documentation, quickly and continually providing guidance on the workflow and enhancements.
I highly recommend HCS as they understand psychiatric hospitals needs and are always willing to improve their system as well as work with you on improving documentation and workflow.”
Gerald M. Cholewa, MSN, MS, PMHNP-BC, RN
“PharmaCare Services’ first choice for pharmacy software is HCS, and there’s a reason for that. It has robust functionality, but is still easy to use. Our company provides Pharmacy Management Services to a variety of Health Care Facilities, and HCS fits well in all of them.”

“There are so many vendors out there feeding us the ‘we want to be a partner with you’ and ‘you are a very important client to us’ lines. Very few, if any, back it up the way you guys did.”
LifeCare
“After implementation we were able to reduce medication administration errors from 1.10 errors per one-thousand doses to 0.31 errors per one-thousand doses.”
