Analysis
Assessment of the environments, flows, procedures, access points and control systems in place.
Medicine security starts long before the therapy.
SHIELDPLUS® is the LOGPLUS solution dedicated to medicine security in healthcare settings. A structured system of analysis, prevention and control that identifies vulnerabilities along the entire medicine journey, reduces the risk of theft and shrinkage, and helps healthcare organisations build safer, better controlled and more conscious processes.

LOGPLUS experience becomes method.
SHIELDPLUS® grows out of the expertise LOGPLUS has developed in healthcare logistics and medicine security. A body of knowledge built in the field, through the analysis of real processes and of the critical issues that shape the daily handling of medicines in healthcare facilities.
50+ Hospital audits
The SHIELDPLUS® approach also stems from the experience gained in the “Padlock” project, developed with the involvement of AIFA, SIFO and other players in the pharmaceutical supply chain, which led to more than 50 audits of hospital facilities and to the definition of guidelines dedicated to medicine security.
Field experience Method Knowledge of healthcare processes
Three competencies that become a single protection system.
More security.
More control.
Every medicine passes through different environments, people, procedures and systems. SHIELDPLUS® analyses the entire journey to identify critical points and turn them into concrete improvement actions. From receiving to the ward, every stage is observed through a structured approach covering environments, access, flows, procedures and control systems.

From the problem
to the solution.
Knowing that a risk exists is not enough. You need to know where it is, why it arises and how to act on it. SHIELDPLUS® guides the organisation through a structured path in five phases.
Risk mapping
Identification, classification and mapping of vulnerability points along the entire medicine journey.
Action plan
Definition of intervention priorities and of the corrective actions needed to raise the security level.
Implementation and training
Support in introducing the identified solutions and in optimising processes and procedures.
Follow-up
Verification of the effectiveness of the measures adopted and identification of any new areas for improvement.
Analyse Identify Act Optimise Verify
Risk can hide
in every step.
Theft, diversion and shrinkage can occur at several points along the medicine journey, and vulnerabilities are not always immediately recognisable. An access point that is not properly controlled. A procedure that could be improved. A step with little oversight. A discrepancy in handling. SHIELDPLUS® helps bring these issues to the surface.
Theft
Helps prevent diversion and anomalous behaviour.
Shrinkage
Makes it possible to spot critical issues and discrepancies in medicine handling.
Access
Analyses methods, systems and levels of access to sensitive areas.
Processes
Identifies organisational vulnerabilities along the entire internal chain.
SHIELDPLUS® identifies risk before it becomes a problem.
Protecting the medicine means
protecting the whole healthcare organisation.
Security does not concern a single environment or a single procedure. SHIELDPLUS® helps build a more structured, conscious and controllable protection system, able to involve processes, people and organisation.
Risk reduction
Helps prevent theft, diversion, shrinkage and potentially critical situations.
Greater control
Strengthens oversight of processes, access points and the most vulnerable areas.
More effective procedures
Encourages the improvement of internal procedures and the adoption of best practice.
Protecting the organisation
Helps strengthen organisational, legal and reputational protection.
Better informed decisions
Provides concrete elements to define priorities, interventions and corrective actions.
Culture of security
Raises risk awareness and encourages the whole organisation to take part in protecting medicines.
Medicine security
is teamwork.
Protecting medicines means connecting different competencies, responsibilities and functions. That is why SHIELDPLUS® supports the roles involved in the handling, control and governance of medicines, offering each of them concrete information to act on their own areas.
Medical direction
To strengthen governance, control and process security.
Hospital pharmacy
To improve procedures, daily handling and control of the medicine journey.
General management
To help protect the assets, the organisation and the reputation of the facility.
Do you really know where
the risk lies in your facility?
Vulnerabilities are not always visible. Identifying them is the first step to preventing them. With a SHIELDPLUS® assessment you can analyse the medicine journey, identify critical points and define priorities and concrete improvement actions.
