Problem Medicine
administration errors 1.5 million people
affected, thousands killed
$1.5 billion annual cost
FDA proposed bar code system
Major Objectives Reflect hospital needs Integrate hardware
and software for design
Easily adaptable for hospitals and end-users
HIPAA compliant
Solution Description Bar Coding
Printing Capabilities for: Nurse IDs Patient Wristbands Unit Doses
Handheld Scanners Wireless Database Access
Processing Software Compare/Output Info
Factors / Metrics Three step scanning process Visual Alert when there is an
medication/patient mismatch System Saves
Date/Time Size and # of Units Nurse’s Name Dose # of Total
Allows Nurse’s comments Generates labels with
barcodes Handheld unit is shock/fluid
resistant Easily viewable information
Goals for the Final Product Interface with:
Accounting/Billing system Hospital Inventory system Personnel system Pharmacy/Prescription Information
Verify administration time window Provide automatic charting Relevant data backups w/ PharmaSys Allow for customizable configurations
Determining Hardware List of possible features Ranking of features Symbol MC50
Software Development Programming platform
Windows systems C++
GUI Trolltech GUI
Project Sponsor Patrick Harris visiting January 24 – 26
Aiming to get basic prototype for program completed Includes GUI and subfunctions
Also shooting for acquisition of all hardware components and initial integration of components
Software Progress
With the help of Qt, most of the visual aspects of the GUI are completed.
Subfunctions, like search, lookup, and compare in the databases, are close to completion.
Hardware Progress PDA Scanner Acquired
(Symbol MC50) Host computer, WLAN router,
and barcode printer on the way.
These components will be setup and integrated as soon as they arrive.
Inputs are numerous but simple
It’s all about the prototype Print and scan
barcodes Demonstrate
communication with Access database
Cross-check records Green means go, red
means stop
No obstacle has been too daunting Programming tools
Hardware
Hospital rules and regulations
Trial and error
