2008 Group 7: Healthcare, Barcoding and Safety – Beyond Medication Lauren Knish, Ross Morrison, Stuart Reasons Advisors: Patrick Harris and David Roth, Pharma-Sys Inc. 1/17/08 Group 7- Lauren Knish, Ross Morrison, Stuart Reasons

Group 7- Lauren Knish, Ross Morrison, Stuart Reasons Project Recap PharmaSys has recently begun creating a bedside verification system called eMeds using RFID systems and barcoding. Point of care bedside verification systems have drastically reduced the amount of errors in medication delivery as well as specimen collection and blood transfusion Our design project centers around expanding the system to provide universal verification for all patient processes 1/17/08 Group 7- Lauren Knish, Ross Morrison, Stuart Reasons

Group 7- Lauren Knish, Ross Morrison, Stuart Reasons Benefits Improves patient and medication safety Cost savings by elimination of mal-practice lawsuits Cuts down on paperwork Ensures patients of “five rights” before medication (right patient, right drug, right time, right dose, right administration route) Connects the operations of pharmacy, physician, nurses and administration 1/17/08 Group 7- Lauren Knish, Ross Morrison, Stuart Reasons
