  1. Point-of-Care Bedside Bar Code Verification System Vanessa Luckman Jason Whaylen Talbot Hansum Alex Stramel Nicholas Ryan

  2. Problem • Medicine administration errors • 1.5 million people affected, thousands killed • $1.5 billion annual cost • FDA proposed bar code system

  3. Major Objectives • Reflect hospital needs • Integrate hardware and software for design • Easily adaptable for hospitals and end-users • HIPAA compliant

  4. Bar Coding Printing Capabilities for: Nurse IDs Patient Wristbands Unit Doses Handheld Scanners Wireless Database Access Processing Software Compare/Output Info Solution Description

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. Determining Hardware • List of possible features • Ranking of features • Symbol MC50

  8. Software Development • Programming platform • Windows systems • C++ • GUI • Trolltech GUI

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Inputs are numerous but simple

  13. It’s all about the prototype • Print and scan barcodes • Demonstrate communication with Access database • Cross-check records • Green means go, red means stop

  14. No obstacle has been too daunting • Programming tools • Hardware • Hospital rules and regulations • Trial and error
