Antidote

Antidote is the standing record of a national poisons information service: its 24-hour clinical telephone enquiry line, its toxicovigilance surveillance, and the national antidote stock register. Thirteen modules cover the enquiry line, the severity grading scale, route of exposure, substances and product composition, the antidote register, stockholding sites and audit, decontamination and elimination, toxicovigilance surveillance, signal detection and alerts, household products and paediatric exposure, plant, fungal and envenomation exposure, and a clinician's portal that logs an exposure by substance and route, returns a severity grade and management summary, and locates the nearest antidote holding.

Built in the Unimark and ISO 7010 hazard-signage lineage — drawn safety pictograms, 45-degree hazard striping, a four-step severity colour ladder, and a bento triage board for a fold. Service Year 28: 214,600 enquiries (168,400 emergency department, 39,200 primary care, 7,000 ambulance), graded 96,100 none / 78,300 minor / 33,400 moderate / 6,800 severe, 1,240 antidote holdings across 184 sites, median 41 seconds to clinical advice.
