Keep medication and specimen labeling operational during EHR downtime.
Down Time Systems helps hospital pharmacy and lab teams generate patient-specific labels, barcode-supported labels, and local activity logs when EHR access is unavailable.
Downtime can disrupt more than documentation.
During EHR downtime, BCA events, network outages, or emergency preparedness drills, hospital teams may need to continue clinical operations while normal electronic labeling and documentation workflows are unavailable.
Label continuity
Support continued generation of patient-specific labels when standard electronic workflows are interrupted.
Local printing
Print labels from local downtime workstations using institution-approved printers, drivers, and label stock.
Reconciliation support
Maintain local activity records that can support review and reconciliation after downtime procedures end.
What Down Time Systems supports
Down Time Systems is designed as an offline workflow support tool for hospital downtime preparation, response, and recovery.
Pharmacy medication labels
Generate medication labels that can include patient name, MRN, DOB, medication name, strength, route, frequency, date/time dispensed, notes, pharmacy information, and MRN barcode support.
Lab specimen labels
Support specimen labeling workflows with patient identifiers, MRN barcode, specimen/accession details, collection date/time, technician initials, specimen type, source, and test selections.
Offline workstation use
Designed for local Windows downtime workstations where active internet or EHR access may not be available.
Downtime activity reports
Create local activity logs that help teams understand what was labeled, printed, and documented during the downtime event.
Designed for hospital downtime scenarios
Down Time Systems can support hospitals evaluating workflow gaps related to electronic health record downtime, network outage, printer readiness, local label generation, and post-downtime reconciliation.
