Industry Status
Speaking of seeing a doctor, you may have had this experience: Early in the morning, you rushed to the hospital, but you found that there were already many people in line at the registration desk. The next step is to wait in line. The prescriptions written by the doctor Long Feifengwu make you confused about the medicines. You have to wait in a long queue to pay the price, then change the window to line up to pay, and then go to another window to get the hard-earned medicine. Seeing a doctor itself seems to be a torture to the body and mind.
challenge
With the development of economy and the continuous progress of society, people’s living standards have been generally improved, and the demand for medical services is also increasing. At the same time, the complexity of clinical business and the unlimited expansion of knowledge have also led to the emergence of medical errors, which not only increases costs, but also causes service quality problems. According to the survey, the number of deaths due to medical errors worldwide is between 44,000 and 98,000 each year. The medical warning incident database established by the world-renowned hospital accreditation agency JCI in 1995 shows that as of December 2004, of the 2966 warning incidents reviewed by the agency, 370 were surgical site errors and 365 were Complications occurred during the operation, and 326 cases were medication errors.
solution
More than 300 Hong Kong private clinics, which are the first choice for Hong Kong people’s daily medical treatment, have also successively installed a medical management system jointly developed by the internationally renowned system integrator Softlink and the American Zebra Company, and are equipped with 1-2 zebras in the clinics of about 100 square meters. The printer provides patients with the only corresponding identity authentication-barcode at any time, and improves the quality of medical services and work efficiency through patient information management based on barcode technology, improves patient satisfaction and enhances the industry’s competitive advantage; and has achieved good results.
result
The whole program allows doctors to quickly enter the patient medical information system. The patient’s symptom information will also be quickly transmitted to the pharmacy. Of course, this fully automated operation was previously implemented manually by nurses. At the same time, the medicine label will be quickly printed and pasted on the medicine bottle. The nurse can tell the patient how to use the medicine directly through the serial number of the medicine label. The average patient waiting time has been shortened, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.
At the same time, since it is no longer necessary to record information by handwriting, the low reading rate caused by the difficult-to-recognize handwriting is also avoided. The reading and writing of drug labels are designed to be very user-friendly, which enhances effective communication. It also enables the operation of the entire system to meet the requirements of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority: accurate, timely and clear instructions.
