A 'just in time' approach to risk management

A video to set the fluid prescribing scene

Blippit® Meds proactively seeks to manage risk for all users through 'just in time' advisory information and examples, for occasions where a clinician meets a clinical term or scenario they encounter infrequently. Blippit® Meds offers learning at the point of need as a strategy to help users manage risk in patient care through well-informed fluid stewardship.

A Development Partnership

Blippit® Meds is designed to support consistent, guideline-adherent fluid prescribing in line with NICE Clinical Guideline 174, and to give clinical teams mobile access to their own Trust's curated formulary and guidance at the point of prescribing.
