Background
• Point of care bedside verification systems have
drastically reduced the amount of errors in medication
delivery as well as specimen collection and blood
transfusion
• These systems can be implemented using RFID
systems, barcoding and many related technologies

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

Last Years Group
• Created a system of prototypes to verify drug delivery in
hospitals
• We are adding modules with functionality that includes
Blood Transfusion and Specimen Collection
• Our work will help make the system more robust and
universal
• The work from last years group is currently being tested
in Pungo District Hospital in Pungo, North Carolina
