Hi Elpidio, Other than my own distaste for the PDA - I generally agree - The only thing I would suggest differently is that a closer step to ideal would be a device that recognizes where the nurse is and asks to validate that the nurse wants to turn their attention to the patient in that room. This could be done with an RFID I assume.
Another thing that would be useful would be computeriszed monitoring of patients so that a nurse will be alerted if there is a need to see another patient. The most important thing, i think, from a nurses point of view would be to have their needs anticipated by the system and an absolute minimum of wasted keystrokes. again - voice activated commands would be a lot easier to handle than a device that takes two hands (or one hand and a surface) to use... bear --- Elpidio Latorilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is a chance for developers to create special GUI scripts that > show only > the "most important" items on that limited pda screen. > > Lets say: > a) user starts care2x-pda, login screen appears. > b) after logging in, care2x-pda prompts user to enter his working > place (or > station) if it is not yet configured. > c) patients list appear (with basic info) > d) each time the user enters a room, nears a bed, approaches a > patient, etc. > he clicks on the patients name on the list. > e) the screen turns to an entry form (for that patient) with the most > > important items (e.g. BP, Temp, Stool, Pulse, etc.) with the minimum > nr. of > character entry (ideally just clicking on prepared values, charts > scala, > radiobuttion, etc) > f) after the work is done, user clicks on save/end > g) screen goes to step c (patient list appears) > > and the workflow recycles.... > > Any takers?
