Healthometer Digital 2-Piece Medical Platform Scale

Importance of Recording Accurate Patient Weights
Failure in obtaining accurate patient weights result in errors. This is why it's helpful to implement a weighing system that reduces the likelihood of human error. Weighing errors most often occur when the patient weight is estimated, in assuming that patient weights are current or accurate, and in documentation errors. For instance, records may show that a patient's weight was calculated in pounds when in fact they were measured in kilograms. It's important to keep record of accurate patient weight measurements in order to prescribe the appropriate medication, calculate the appropriate medication dose, and in choosing the appropriate route of administration. Oncology, elderly, and pediatric/neonatal patients are most at risk of the effects associated with patient weight error because their weights can fluctuate over short periods of time.

Healthometer Digital 2-Piece Medical Platform Scale Reduces the Risk of Error
Since the Healthometer Digital 2-Piece Medical Platform Scale syncs your facility's electronic medical records system through internet connectivity, the likelihood of human error is greatly reduced. Patient records can be immediately updated after weighing. Not only does this connectivity feature save time, but it also ensures accuracy.
