Lanea George, the nurse manager at Man Alive, describes how the Bodhi machine revolutionizes methadone dispensing, saving nurses time and reducing physical strain. Previously, preparing doses was a tedious, time-consuming task that contributed to high turnover among nurses due to the pressure and risk of repetitive strain injuries. Now, with Bodhi, nurses can dedicate more time to patient interactions. The system enhances the quality of care by allowing deeper conversations with patients in addiction treatment, which are crucial for effective recovery support.
Bodhi has changed my life and the lives of our patients. Filling the prescriptions requires precise measuring, labeling, and sealing, which once took a full day.
Now, instead of pouring doses, George spends more time interacting with patients. It lets me get more personal, have more in-depth conversations, she says.
I've seen nurses just leave during a shift and never come back, due to the pressure and physical strain of manual dosing duties.
Amber Norbeck's idea for Bodhi aimed to inject humanity into addiction treatment by reducing clerical tasks and improving nurse-patient interactions.
