Ensuring the ‘Five Rights’ of patients is important for accurate bedside medication. Though the healthcare system in United States is one of the best in the world, medication errors are often reported. Medication errors are among the most frequent medical blunders, harming at least 1.5 million patients every year (According to The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies).
Barcodes ensures the ‘Five Rights’
Medication errors can be avoided by using barcode technology in bedside medication. Barcodes ensure the ‘Five Rights’ of the patients i.e. the right patient gets the right medication in the right dose through the right route at the right time.
* Right patient
Barcode scanning on patient’s wristbands using handheld barcode scanners enables to identify the right patient according to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) guidelines. The wristbands with barcodes given at the admission point are vital in tracking the right patient throughout the treatment period in the hospital.
* Right medication
Scanning the barcode label on the medications prescribed to a patient enables accurate treatment. In many cases, the ID of the administering nurse is also scanned to check the nurse’s authority to dispense the medication to the patient. This avoids administering wrong drugs to a patient.
* Right dose
Confirming the right dose being given to the patients is more complex than ensuring the right medication is administered. The medicine dose administered is prone to change at least in small quantities during the treatment period. Recording data using barcodes can help in maintaining the consistency in the dose administered. This avoids further complications and side effects by reducing overdose medications.
* Right method of administration (route)
Right method of administration means administering the prescribed drug using the right method such as pills, syrup or intravenous medication. This may also include special instructions such as taking medication along with food or other supplements. Using barcodes will help in reducing the avoidable mistakes that might happen when the information is not properly shared and coordinated.
* Right time
The schedule of medication and the time interval is vital in medical administration. Especially when there is a situation where a missed or late medication has to follow a revised schedule of medication. In such situations, barcode technology will help to maintain the consistency by having the accurate information.
The typical devices used in barcode enabled medical administration are a handheld scanner connected to a wireless mobile computer. These devices automatically communicate with other information systems to record and update transactions. These devices also store medical information as a result, it is possible to more accurately check and confirm that the right medication process is being followed than is possible with a typical medication administration record (MAR). Thus, the barcode technology will enable the Five Rights of the patients in the bedside medication administration and ensure the patients’ health is the highest priority.

mobile devices industry
There is no doubt that mobile phones are a significant part of modern living. These devices have taken over landlines and have changed the way we communicate. A billion dollar industry has also grown with the popularity of cell phones and the services that power them. Carriers and manufacturers have created devices and programs that are fitted for all ages including senior citizens.
When the Jitterbug cell phone was released as a simple device designed for the elderly, the potential of senior citizens as a niche for mobile phone services became evident. In an effort to take control of the senior citizen market, mobile phone carriers launched programs and cell phones for seniors.
It turned out that programs and mobile phones for senior citizens are also beneficial to disabled persons. After all, both groups often suffer from similar ailments such as frail limbs and diminished senses. Let me offer some information on devices for seniors and disabled persons.
Let us begin with ideal mobile phones for seniors. The elderly usually require simple mobile phones because of their condition. They would normally prefer basic phones because these devices have no frills and are easy to use. A complicated handset will only cause problems for seniors and disabled persons because they require more instructions.
Handsets that have large keys are also ideal cellphones for seniors. Senior citizens usually have frail fingers or weak eyesight so a device that allows them, to dial by feel will be suitable for their condition. The keys must also be easy to press so that weak fingers do not have to exert a lot of force. The keys should be also spaced wide apart so that the elderly will be able to choose the correct key more easily.
A large screen is also an ideal feature of a cell phone for seniors. The elderly and disabled will be able to see any information on the device more easily if it has a large screen. Most fashionable or stylish phones have small keys so they may not be the best types of mobile phones for seniors. It would also help if the handset has large fonts that would help seniors see the numbers or letters in the screen.
The size is also a good factor in judging if a handset is suitable for your grandparents. A very small phone would not be ideal; because seniors will have difficulty holding them and they might be dropped too easily. A very large phone would not also be good because it would be too heavy for the weak hands of seniors and disabled persons. The device should have the right size and weight that would be suitable for persons who are 65 years old and older.
Durability is also a trait or attribute that a cellphone for seniors should possess. It should be able to withstand the shock of being dropped several times. Seniors and si9sabled persons are prone to dropping objects so a device that can still function after being dropped would be a good candidate for a senior phone.
Mobile phone service providers also offer services for senior citizens. For instance they offer plans that are designed explicitly for the needs of senior citizens. These mobile phone plans for seniors offer a special cheap price and enough monthly minutes to cover the needs of a senior. Long distance calls are free in these plans to allow seniors to contact friends and family all over the county.
Those are the some of the basic information on mobile devices for the elderly. I’m sure more devices and services will be launched to cater to seniors in the future. If you are looking for a device for a senior member of your family, then you may use these tips to help you find the right handset.

You worked hard on building and maintaining your website. You started the show but, the audience is missing? Probably because you forgot to sell the tickets. Single handedly you cannot sell more tickets. You need distributors. This article will give you information on various modes of distribution on the internet.
The internet is a ‘world wide web’; your audience is widely spread. To be seen, you also need to spread yourself. In technical terms you need to do ‘Link Building’. Following sources on the internet can be used for link building:
Search Engines – A search engine as we all know is a tool to search relevant information from a large database. Internet search engines are extremely complex and getting a good ranking i.e. being featured in the top 30 or top 100 or top X search results is as difficult as walking on a high wire. You need to hire a Search Engine and Web Optimization Company to ensure that your website is Search Engine friendly. Good ranking with search engines can alone give you all the visitors you want. But we are businessmen and we always need more profit, so we should keep trying all the other methods of internet marketing too. One should try other methods too, also because getting good ranking with search engines is very difficult and it can take several months to happen. Another important point to be noted here is the more linked your site is on the web, the more are your chances to get a good ranking. So ‘Link Building’ becomes more important.
Web Directories – A web directory or link directory is a directory containing topic-wise links to websites on the internet.
This is a tried and tested old method. It can get you traffic who is more likely to buy what you are selling. You can try submitting your site to DMOZ, Yahoo etc.
Article Directories – Article directories are directories of articles submitted by companies and professional writers. Articles get classified by topics, authors etc.
Write articles about subjects in your industry, the web audience wants to read about. Place your link in it. If your article was good enough you will get good number of readers visiting your site.
In case you are wondering what can you keep writing after all the relevant information has been given by you on your website. Here are some suggestions for you: build lists like ‘101′ ways to something (whatever your subject is) or 10 easy tips, or top 10 myths etc. These kinds of lists always have a large potential to get circulated by readers and hence you stand a good chance for free publicity.
Blogs – Blogs are sounding boards of the web audience. Anyone can write a blog. Although blogs started as and hence build a perception of boards available for scribbling casually, it should not be taken lightly. It is quite an effective method to get more visitors. Search engines give preferred rankings to blogs.
Start a blog. Post good content and keep posting regularly. Blogs have a vast audience by themselves. Taking them seriously will help a lot.
Press Release sites / News sites – These are sites which give news about latest happenings in various industries. You can write articles about topics of your interest and submit to these sites. Writing about organizations in the news can get you some backlinks on their sites.
Pay Per Click – This is paid advertising. Sites place your advertisements on their sites and charge you per click on your advertisement. Your site can get quality traffic via this method. Unlike other methods it is direct advertising and hence it is also a good opportunity for brand building.
You can do link building through various other sites like social networking sites etc.
After reading this article, you might be mistaken to believe that you can now do internet marketing on your own. Some of you may have even started building thoughts on getting started with the least technically complicated methods like article marketing, and writing blogs. You now only know the ways or sources one can use for internet marketing. However, you still don’t know which sites of each kind will help and not harm you. This needs a lot of research. You are an expert in your line of business, not in internet marketing. So hire an expert in internet marketing who will manage your internet marketing campaign for you. Some search engine optimization companies offer you comprehensive internet marketing plans at very reasonable rates. You must consider outsourcing this activity to them not because they charge less but because you don’t want to lose out on time your competition is using to grab your prospective customers.
