After years spent in sales, marketing, and strategy at Fortune 50 companies, I had the opportunity to create a company that reflected our values. Throughout the years we have developed highly configurable software to place formulary, patient safety, and healthcare worker safety (USP 800) information at the point of care. We believe that when we develop software in cooperation with our clients we arrive at the best and most consultative solutions to improve patient safety, medication safety, and employee safety.
