About Caretech Services
The Caretech Services mission is to save lives by integrating supply chain and medical records using intelligent procedural packaging. Not only does our technology platform allow us to trap the 5 causes of patient harm – prescription mis-match, contraindications with other patient medications, counterfeit supply, medication expiry and cold chain breaks – it removes existing unnecessary administrative overheads for healthcare workers by passing treatment data to medical records (EMR), supply chain management (ERP) and funders/insurers, while simultaneously generating the real world evidence (RWE/RWD) necessary for effective disease and medication control by public health custodians, regulators and pharmaceutical / MedTech suppliers.
