Understanding Dedalus MedChart
Dedalus MedChart is an electronic medication management platform for hospitals, clinics, and other care environments. It supports digital prescribing, pharmacy review, medicines reconciliation, medication administration, and clinical decision support.
The platform provides an electronic medication record throughout the patient journey. Prescribing features include quicklists, protocols, pre-built orders, formulary controls, dose prompts, variable-dose medicines, PRN and STAT orders, infusions, and verbal or telephone orders.
MedChart also supports pharmacy review, ward overviews, administration workflows, and offline chart backup. Configurable decision support can reflect local protocols and organisational rules.
The platform can connect with pharmacy systems, EPRs, medicine catalogues, prescribing services, and health information exchanges, allowing medication data to move across prescribing, dispensing, administration, and onward-care services.
Our Dedalus MedChart Integration Process
We begin with structured discovery involving pharmacy, medical, nursing, digital, technical, and governance stakeholders. Together, we define workflows, users, data requirements, safety constraints, and intended outcomes.
Typical integrations include active medication records, allergy information, medicines reconciliation, pharmacy dispensing, laboratory and observation data, clinical alerts, and prescribing or administration analytics.
We map patient identifiers, encounters, allergies, medication orders, dose instructions, routes, frequencies, administrations, omissions, discontinuations, pharmacy reviews, dispensing events, and discharge medicines.
Architecture may use FHIR, REST APIs, HL7 messages, integration engines, secure web services, database interfaces, or event-driven messaging. We also define mappings for dm+d, SNOMED-coded allergies, local catalogues, formularies, dose units, routes, frequencies, medication statuses, and administration outcomes.
Authentication can support OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, single sign-on, service accounts, and role-based access.
Reusable components accelerate delivery, including medication handlers, FHIR components, HL7 parsers, validation rules, and routing pipelines. Secure testing validates patient matching, medication coding, dose instructions, permissions, sequencing, performance, audit trails, failure recovery, and downtime reconciliation.
Before launch, we coordinate acceptance testing, clinical safety review, deployment, and documentation. After go-live, we monitor integrations, resolve issues, and maintain compatibility with MedChart and NHS changes.
Benefits of Dedalus MedChart Integration
Prescribers gain connected access to allergies, medicines, observations, laboratory results, and decision support at the point of prescribing.
Pharmacists benefit from timely information for review, dispensing, intervention, and medicines supply. Nurses gain accurate medication schedules, dose instructions, administration records, omission information, and ward-level workload visibility.
Patients benefit from safer, more coordinated medicines management as they move between services. Connected pharmacy and EPR workflows reduce manual transcription and improve continuity at discharge.
Operational teams gain visibility of prescribing, pharmacy review, administration, omitted doses, discharge processes, and medication-related workload.
For healthtech vendors, MedChart integration provides reusable, standards-based access to established medication management environments.

Readiness checklist for Dedalus MedChart Integration
- Define the medicines workflows and use cases your integration will support, such as prescribing, medicines reconciliation, pharmacy review, administration, dispensing, discharge, or analytics.
- Identify the MedChart, EPR, PAS, pharmacy, laboratory, observations, and third-party systems involved in each workflow.
- Confirm which APIs, FHIR resources, HL7 messages, integration-engine connections, database interfaces, or secure transfer methods are available within the target deployment.
- Map patient identifiers, encounters, allergies, medication orders, dose instructions, administrations, omissions, discontinuations, pharmacy reviews, dispensing events, and discharge medicines across connected systems.
- Confirm how dm+d identifiers, SNOMED-coded allergy information, local drug catalogues, formularies, routes, dose units, frequencies, and medication statuses will be mapped and validated.
- Define which system will act as the source of truth for each data type and how corrections, duplicate records, conflicting updates, and downtime reconciliation will be managed.
- Confirm authentication, authorisation, single sign-on, role-based access, encryption, service-account, and audit-logging requirements.
- Prepare governance and clinical safety documentation, including your lawful basis, DPIA, DSPT position, and applicable DCB0129 or DCB0160 responsibilities.
- Develop a testing plan covering synthetic data, allergy conflicts, duplicate prescriptions, dose changes, complex infusions, omitted administrations, discontinued medicines, patient transfers, high volumes, downtime, and clinical user acceptance.
- Agree deployment, training, monitoring, incident management, supplier coordination, configuration change control, upgrades, and ongoing support arrangements before production go-live.
