OptiSach System

The OptiSach system is a dose administration aid which allows nursing staff to quickly and accurately administer medication to facility residents in aged care, and can also be used by a community patient to self-administer medication at home.

Here at Optimal Medication Solutions, we use robotic medication packaging systems that produce uni-dose or multi-dose sachets which are clearly labelled so that the right medication is taken by the right person, at the right time.

The sachets are transparent, to allow easy identification of tablets, and printed on one side with all the information required to ensure safe and accurate administration.

OptiPak System

The OptiPak system is another form of dose administration aid which is more commonly used in the community, and is extremely easy to use without compromising on pharmacy quality.

Unlike the OptiSach system, medications are packaged into a 4 x 7 blister pack system, which can be set up for up to seven days of medications. The OptiPak can also be set up as a uni-dose system for medications taken as required.

Whichever system you choose to use, we can tailor a solution to suit your needs.

Medication Management

Optimal Medication Solutions currently employs a number of Clinical Pharmacists who are fully accredited by The Australian Association of Consultant Pharmacy (AACP) to conduct RMMRs for all permanent residents of Residential Aged Care Facilities.

Upon request by a resident’s general practitioner (GP), our accredited pharmacist can conduct a RMMR in collaboration with the GP and appropriate members of the eligible resident’s healthcare team. Information about the resident’s medicine is collated and a comprehensive assessment is undertaken to identify, resolve and prevent medication-related problems. This is then forwarded to both the GP and the facility.
