Problem Identification
Hospital administrations have taken many measures to ensure and improve patients’ safety, however, medication errors in patients have constantly been reported which is still a concern for many health departments. We at QSS worked towards creating a solution that drastically reduces such errors and keeps a digital record of medication administrations to improve patients’ well being.
- Incorporate barcode scanning technology
- Provides witness capabilities for nurse-entered orders
- Build real-time electronic communication
- Integrate pharmacy software systems
Feasibility Study
To reduce all the medication errors and improve the quality use of medicines, it was important to instill an application that works in favor of patients. We implemented a solution that will keep track of patients’ due or overdue medications and provide them better dose calculation and clinical decision support.
- Monitoring administration of medicines electronically
- Review and dispensing of medication orders by pharmacists
- Featured with a clinical action alert
- Supports six rights of medication administration
- Provide real-time monitoring of potential duplicate medicine orders
Solution Implementation
User research
Carrying out user research helps in minimizing the risk factor involved in developing a solution. This procedure helped us gain insight into user's assumptions and what they would like to get in an application which is focused on reducing medication error in hospitals.
Product discovery workshop
In order to understand the workflow of your project in a true manner, it is very important to organize a meeting session with your client that is commonly known as a product discovery workshop. Here the project manager along with web developers and cloud specialists goes into discussing every fine aspect of the project and its business requirements with the client that further helps us in keeping the prospect in mind and develop a product as exactly as a client wants.
Based on all the discussions we had, our team sketched out the rough workflow contemplating design, features and what demands will the application eventually fulfills as per market perspective and showed it to our client for final approval. This session helped us establish the core values of the product and give us an insight into the prototype to follow in order to meet deliverables.
Competitor Analysis
If you are into a similar business, it becomes necessary for you to make yourself aware of the strengths and weaknesses of potential competitors. With similar ethos, we carried out competitive analysis and thoroughly examined the market.
