Design Objectives
Measurable Milestones
Studies show that patients often miss important
information during doctor visits or forget this
information after leaving the doctor’s office.
• Prof. Clive Woods
• Dr. John Lamont
• Prof. Ralph Patterson III
• Ms. Mary Ness of McFarland Clinic, Ames, IA
• Must be affordable for pharmacies to purchase
• Simple to use
• Easy to use by ill and elderly patients
• Accessible from multiple locations
• Project plan documentation
• RFID PoC design, testing, demonstration,
and documentation
• IVR specification documentation
Operating Environment
Functional Requirements
Design Constraints
Kiosk
• Pharmacy/drug stores
• Controlled temperature 50-80°F
• High traffic area
• Present relevant information to customers
• Users must authenticate themselves
• Capable of connecting to EMR databases
• Results should be printable
• Provide security against unauthorized access
• Cost must be minimal for patients
• Prescription bottles must remain compact
• Support different EMR databases
This project suggests ways in which patients
could retrieve important information without the
need of contacting the doctor, or using more of
the doctor’s time. The project focuses on
prescription information for McFarland Clinic in
Ames and ways to get this information to the
patients.
The solutions that were devised
include an automated phone system and a
touch screen kiosk that would be located in
pharmacies/drug stores.
Phone System
• Controlled central location
• Controlled temperature
• Limited physical access
Solution Approach
Problem Statement
Assumptions
Studies have shown that, on average, patients
understand and retain less than 40% of the
information and instructions provided to them
by the doctor during an office visit.
• EMR database available
• RFID reader/tags available
• Some form of authentication required
• Kiosk/Phone system able to communicate
with EMR
RFID
information
RFID
tag
Technology Considerations
• Research current medical practices
• Research solutions in place at one clinic
• Create systems for remote information
access for a wide range of patients
Software languages
• Java
• C#
Testing Considerations
• GUI appearance and usability
• Navigation of system
• RFID reader connection to remote database
Patient ID

General Solution
Limitations
By focusing on one clinic and specifically
prescription information, the team hopes to
improve patients’ understanding of their medical
treatment
and
avoid
dangerous
misunderstandings.
• Actual patient medical records unavailable
• Access must be quick and easy for
patients and doctors
• Cost must be minimal to patient
• Prescription bottles must remain compact
Intended Users and Uses
End Product
Users
• Prescription medication users
• Documentation
• Proof-of-concept (PoC) of RFID kiosk
• Specifications and requirements for
automated phone system
Uses
• Review prescription information from outside
doctor’s office

Closing Summary
This project will help alleviate miscommunications between doctors and patients. Specifically, it
will give patients an alternate means of obtaining information they may have missed or forgotten
during their visit to the doctor’s office. This will be possible without returning to the doctor’s office
or taking away from the doctor’s time.

Two solutions were designed such that the largest possible base of patients will be able to access
and benefit from the system.
