Transfusion checkup system using mobile terminals.

Kyoto University Hospital introduces a new hospital information system on January 2005. The system introduces ubiquitous information system using mobile terminals for nursing information support and implements a transfusion checkup system, as a single error in the transfusion process may result in a serious accident. The developed system carefully designed to suit real workflow and to make full use of the benefits of mobile terminals increases efficiency and the safety of transfusion.

Electronic clinical path system based on semistructured data model using personal digital assistant for onsite access.

Clinical Paths (Paths) have been introduced by different hospitals for patient care management. An Electronic Clinical Path (ECP) with onsite access provision seems to improve the efficiency of medical staffs because they can share vast medical information about patients at a time and also can reuse accumulated data easily, which is impossible with paper-based Path. Data model is the basis for implementing ECP. However, there is no established model for ECP. The purpose of this study is to introduce a model for ECP and implement an ECP with onsite access system. We introduced a Semistructured Data Model (SSDM) for ECP, and implemented a Web application system based on this model using Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) as inputting device. Our system functioned as expected with wireless LAN, and users handled the data on bedside using PDA. By introducing SSDM, we showed the correspondence between schema of Paths and implementation of ECP.
