  1. Implementation of New Technologies in Healthcare Consolidated Cybernetics Co. Pvt. Ltd. 25, New Damu Nagar Puliakulam Road, Coimbatore - 641 037 Ph: 91-422-216001,217489 Fax: 91-422-217767 Email: ccplindia@vsnl.com www.cyberneticsindia.com

  2. New Technologies • Smart Card • These Technologies enhance user benefits farther than the application software in healthcare. • Bar Codes / RFID • Wireless Communication • - SMS • - Mobile Device

  3. Smart Card Technology • Cards with cryptographic capabilities • 32 bit computer chips on cards • Different memory sizes for our needs • Combination cards with contact and contact less communications

  4. Major Concepts • Card functions as part of the System • Works with the networked data • Network means Local and World Wide Network (Internet) • Continuum with Essential data on card • Many applications can be supported

  5. Roles for a Card • Multiple roles including: • Visual Identification • Electronic identification (Keys and certificates) • Portable Data Carrier or Pointers to Data • Two Card Present model - patient and doctor cards at the same time to access data located either on the card or on the network

  6. Why Use Cards In Healthcare ? • Quicker and easier retrieval of Data (from a • portable card or using card as key to data lookup) • Deliver Better and Faster Service • Decrease Paper Work and Administrative Costs • Increased Patient Convenience • Secure Access to On-line Data • Enable secure communications • Elimination of Data Entry Error

  7. Applications on a Healthcare Smart Card • Patient Medical Identifier, visual ID, • Administrative Data, Demographics for • registration • Specialty Medical Data Bases, Medication, • Dialysis, Pregnancy History, Portions of • Medical Record • Emergency Data, Immunization History, • Allergies, Treatment History • Information carrier: Prescriptions

  8. BAR CODES / RFID • Bar codes. • Radio Frequency ID Tags with bar • codes.

  9. Application of Bar Codes and RFID tags in Healthcare. • Blood banks for unique identification of stock. • Drug Administration. • Central Sterile and stores department for managing Pick lists. • Test administration and reagents inventory in Diagnostics Lab. • Radiology and imageology. • Equipment Maintenance.

  10. Role of Bar Codes andRFID • Automated Data Capture (ADC), resulting in, • Elimination of errors. • Improved speed of Operation. • Enhanced Safety and quality in healthcare.

  11. Wireless Communication. • SMS • Short message service • Wireless Outdoor. • Point to Point and Point to Multi point fixed line of sight communication in ISM band. • Wireless Indoor with indoor roaming facility. • 802.11x standard • Blue tooth technology. • Wireless Mobile. • GSM and GPRS technologies for data and voice communication.

  12. SMS ( Short message service ) • Technology • - work with GSM & GPRS Technology • Applications in healthcare • - Trauma Care • - Laboratory results • - Appointment status

  13. Wireless - Technology • ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical band) covered by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and other 802.11x standards defined and adopted as well as evolving. • Advantages over wired connectivity. • Mobility and the resulting flexibility and convenience. • Costs are comparable. • Limitations. • Speed. 11 Mbps implementation widespread.. 54 MMbps gaining popularity. Not a limiting factor in current healthcare applications.

  14. Wireless In healthcare • Out door wireless point to Point and Point to Multipoint: • Wireless connectivity between Buildings in a campus. • Primary healthcare in rural areas for connectivity between district healthcare centre and primary healthcare units in the district.. • Connectivity between temporary outposts to primary healthcare centre.

  15. Wireless in Healthcare • Wireless Indoor: Benefits in healthcare. • Doctor with handheld or laptop has freedom to move around the wards while being connected to the network. • Bedside access to Medical records. • Bedside diagnostics prescription and Patient discharge. • Un-tethered mobility and access to privileged information helping in speed and efficiency. • Bedside Tele-medicine.

  16. Wireless in Healthcare • Wireless Mobile Communication. • Technologies of GSM, SMS, GPRS for voice, messaging and data transfer. • Ambulance Tracking and dispatch with or without GPS. • Trauma care efficiency due to connectivity while the patient is being moved from the Trauma location to the Hospital.

  17. Summary • Opportunities in administrative simplification, data transfer, improved security/ privacy, decreased fraud • Secure access to medical data on the network • Patient uses keys of smart card to control access to their record

  18. Summary • The mentioned technologies help improve process efficiency by reducing errors and speed of operation. • Wireless technology brings in the advantage of immediacy to operations management in healthcare.
