In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Sophie Turner sits down with Phil Offer, CEO of BestMed, to discuss the power of connection in healthcare. BestMed is a leading medication management system that connects aged care, pharmacies, and doctors, aiming to improve patient safety and efficiency. Phil shares insights into the challenges faced in aged care, the importance of electronic medication management systems, and the process of implementing such systems across multiple facilities.

Key Takeaways:

\\u2022 BestMed\'s software showcases the power of connection by bridging the gap between aged care, pharmacies, and doctors.

\\u2022 Medication errors in aged care are a significant problem, with a high number of complaints to the Royal Commission. Implementing electronic medication management software can help address these issues.
