Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, NY -- July, 2004 -- NEGLEY, OTT & ASSOCIATES, INC. (NOA) consultants, Dar Sabatino, RN, Jeanie Eckman, MT, ASCP, Chris Carr and Rod Walker, recently completed participation in a project to develop and deploy automated medication administration using the Misys-CPR™/ CPOE™ system at Jacobi Medical Center.  Through using automated medication administration with the Misys-CPR™/ CPOE™ system Jacobi Medical Center sought to improve the quality of care through decreased risks involving medication administration.  The lead NOA consultant on this project was Dar Sabatino, RN, who worked closely with members of the Jacobi clinical analyst team in support of this initiative.  The project was a huge success and further demonstrated Jacobi’s leadership position at leveraging information technology for enhancing the delivery of care.
