Installation of Network-Connected Point-of-Care Blood Glucose Meters / 임상검사와정도관리

Point-of-care (POC) testing is desirable because of both the ease with which it can be administered and its short turnaround time. However, because standard POC devices cannot transmit test results automatically to a laboratory information system (LIS), each result must be recorded by hand. This inconvenience not only increases the possibility of clerical errors, but also limits the proper use of test results. If POC test results are not saved in the LIS, it is hard to either monitor patients' health trends or to quality control (QC) the test results. In this paper, we describe how we have solved these problems by connecting 250 POC blood glucose test devices to the LIS via a local area network (LAN). After connecting the POC devices (we used the Accu-Chek Inform II; Roche Diagnostics, Germany) to a manufacturer-provided POC data management system (Roche's Cobas IT 1000; Roche Diagnostics), we developed our own interface program for delivering data from the Cobas IT 1000 system to the LIS. By installing a program to scan the identification barcode worn by patients on their wrists, network-connected POC devices enable users to omit extra ordering, receiving, and recording processes, and they also reduce the possibility of patient misidentification. Such a system also provides an effective way for physicians to follow both the current and accumulated test results of patients. We note that performing QC on glucometers and the sending of data via LAN to the LIS are necessary steps to monitor both patients' results and the QC of those results.

Hospital Wireless Local Area Network-Based Tracking System / 대한의료정보학회지

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype wireless local area network (LAN)-based tracking system and evaluate its efficacy. METHODS: A wireless LAN-based tracking system was developed with a personal digital assistant (PDA) having a simple text messaging function and a prototype stand-alone tracking device. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the tracking system was performed in two ways. Twenty-five messages were sent to nurses by direct communication and 46 messages were sent by the wireless system. Thirty cases by nurses and 30 cases by the wireless system to locate hospital equipment were performed. The time required to transfer messages and to locate equipment was measured and analyzed with a Mann-Whitney test and a paired t-test, respectively. RESULTS: The mean time required to transfer messages by direct communication and by the wireless system were 37.92 +/- 19.19 seconds and 30.65 +/- 9.80 seconds, respectively which were not statistically different (p = 0.108). The mean time required to locate equipment by the nurses and by the wireless system was 234.00 +/- 59.99 and 23.97 +/- 6.17 seconds, respectively which was statistically different (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The wireless LAN-based tracking system can save time for nurses to communicate and to check for the location of equipment in wards which allows nurses to spend more time and attention to patient care and safety.
