Neofax®: necessary resource for the nicu

With more than 430,000 premature babies admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) each year, it's imperative to have resources available to help reduce dangerous medication errors. The NeoFax Solution is the only neonatal drug information resource to offer consistent drug and fluid nutrient dosing. It's also the only one that includes a patient-specific dosing calculator that gauges dosing intervals based on gestational and postnatal ages, and supports the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) ordering process. The intuitive browser interface assists physicians, nurses, and pharmacists in making critical treatment decisions by bringing focused, up-to-date information to the bedside. The NeoFax Solution:

• Provides default values, warning ranges, and compounding instructions that can be customized by each hospital to meet its own parameters.
• Offers a Parenteral Nutrition Ordering System which includes a pharmacy compounder interface and provides nutrient, energy, osmolarity, and aluminum calculations along with label-printing to reduce time for ordering and compounding TPN solutions.
• Features an Infant Formula Database detailing nutritional information for 42 infant formulas.
• Contains more than 185 substances and a set of clinical-decision-support modules for patient-specific dosing.
• Allows a clinician to focus on treatment of neonates, rather than complex mathematical calculations.

NeoFax maintains compliance with regulatory measures of both The Joint Commission and FDA, and meets the American Academy of Pediatrics special requirements for electronic health records.
