Enhancing transfusion safety with an innovative bar-code-based tracking system.
In an effort to reduce transfusion errors, a novel, comprehensive, computerized wireless bar-code-based tracking system for matching patients, blood samples and blood products was created and deployed at a major academic medical centre. With a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, software was developed to track scans at the times of sample collection, sample arrival in the...
متن کاملResearch on Traceability System of Food Safety Based on PDF417 Two-Dimensional Bar Code
In this paper, through the research on two-dimensional bar codes of food source tracking; a set of traceability tracking system was designed based on the two bar coding algorithm and decoding algorithms. This system could generate PDF417 code based on food production, logistics and transport, supermarket and other storage information. Consumers could identify PDF417 code through a client based ...
متن کاملA Symbol-based Bar Code Decoding Algorithm
We investigate the problem of decoding bar codes from a signal measured with a hand-held laser-based scanner. Rather than formulating the inverse problem as one of binary image reconstruction, we instead determine the unknown code from the signal. Our approach has the benefit of incorporating the symbology of the bar code, which reduces the degrees of freedom in the problem. We develop a sparse...
متن کاملBar Code-Assisted Medication Labeling: A Novel System to Improve Efficiency and Patient Safety
Background: Medication errors in anesthesia present patient safety challenges and research has shown that proper medication labeling may reduce error rates. Bar code-assisted syringe labeling may improve labeling accuracy and compliance. The purpose of this study is to compare the time required to label syringes using the manual method with the time required using bar code-assisted syringe labe...
متن کاملBlood Transfusion and Patient Safety with IT – Minimizing risk of transfusion with Point-of-Act-System -
Objectives: The purpose of this study is ensuring patient safety on blood transfusion by minimizing risk of transfusion at the point of care through IT. The targets are ensuring 5 rights of transfusion, rights process and right information by electrical identification and traceability of blood products. Methods: We used Point-of-Act-System (POAS) as a health information system and RFID as devic...
