| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 99 === Recent studies indicated that the major medication errors result from the procedural flaws while the healthcare is delivered but not a nurse’s recklessness while medication administration is conducted. The major reason why medication errors are reported in a hospital is that patients’ medical treatments are constantly changed and the nurse is not always to get the latest medical treatment lists in the administration procedures. Therefore, it is vital to provide the latest medical treatment lists to the nurses when they are doing the administration procedures. In this study, we proposed a mobile system using radio frequency identification (RFID) and personal digital assistant (PDA), which are integrated with the Hospital Information System (HIS), to provide nurses with real-time patients’ medical treatment lists. The proposed system is consisted of HIS, Drug Identification System (DIS), Patient Safety Event Reporting System (PSERS), Middle-Gateway (MG) and PDA. HIS contains inpatients’ medical treatment plans and relative information. DIS contains the drug picture and relative information. PSERS is used by nurses to upload inpatients’ pictures, maintain inpatients’ safety events and print inpatients’ medical treatment records. MG synchronizes and transforms the relative data from HIS and DIS. PDA provides nurses with abilities to indentify patients’ status, to access medical treatment plans in real time and to record inpatients’ medical treatments in database. This mobile system helps nurses to reduce workload and enhance patient safety while nurses are performing medication administration.
