Planning appointments has become a daunting task especially for health professionals in hospitals and clinics. Failure of appointment appointments can also result in dispersed appointments, increased number of shows, general patient dissatisfaction and financial losses for health organizations. Many day-to-day medical centers now use a combination of telephone-based planning and computer-based appointments but there is still a technical and human error gap. This online facility can add power to any hospital or clinic website. Reduces the hard work associated with managing a medical environment. More time to commit to patient care, better patient compliance and financial efficiency are other rewards. The integration of covid time, technology and rapid population growth has been strongly driven to introduce patient planning online. In this used project, you sometimes experience minor problems where you need to consult a doctor about your health problems or nearby and follow their meetings. The Online Doctor System will provide one authorized direct communication between the doctors of your choice if necessary for your minor problems. Using the web Online Healthcare System, patients will be able to complete online forms in seconds before entering the virtual office room. It will also allow you to upload your lab results such as x-ray copies, medical history etc which your doctors may refer you for.

Large Compound

Biomolecular screening is now enabled at a far greater scale than ever before due to the explosion of available libraries and targets. By the early '90s, however, it was becoming clear that the potential number of tests which could be done (theoretically the product of available test compounds multiplied by identified biological targets) was, in practice, being severely limited by the logistics of handling and preparing samples at rates exceeding 10,000 compounds per day. What was required was, in effect, a "sample supermarket" to feed screening research. This article describes the development of a solution to this problem, called Haystack, which was designed to be this sample supermarket, but with the addition of extensive use of robotics and computer based automation to reduce the scope for human error. The Haystack system consists of three broad types of modules which are: Sample Storage and Retrieval, Sample Dispensing and Preparation, and Sample Tracking and Data Management.

Abstract. A global climate classification is defined using a multivariate regression tree (MRT). The MRT algorithm is automated, which removes the need for a practitioner to manually define the classes; it is hierarchical, which allows a series of nested classes to be defined; and it is rule-based, which allows climate classes to be unambiguously defined and easily interpreted. Climate variables used in the MRT are restricted to those from the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. The result is a hierarchical, rule-based climate classification that can be directly compared against the traditional system. An objective comparison between the two climate classifications at their 5, 13, and 30 class hierarchical levels indicates that both perform well in terms of identifying regions of homogeneous temperature variability, although the MRT still generally outperforms the Köppen-Geiger system. In terms of precipitation discrimination, the Köppen-Geiger classification performs poorly relative to the MRT. The data and algorithm implementation used in this study are freely available. Thus, the MRT climate classification offers instructors and students in the geosciences a simple instrument for exploring modern, computer-based climatological methods.

Recent Trends

The use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in the manufacturing process has been historically proven to increase the quality of the product. Recent trends show that companies are becoming increasingly reliant on computer based-SPC because it can save a significant amount of time compared with traditional SPC. In addition, labor-intensive tasks, such as manual data collection and entry, can be eliminated, thus reducing human error. This paper aims to prove the benefits of computer based system for SPC known as e-SPC in a semiconductor manufacturing environment. Specifically, this paper will present the case study‟s finding that show how one semiconductor manufacturing company‟s use of e-SPC can detect a process abnormality at an early stage and in real time compared with manual SPC. The case study involves interviews with the company representatives and observations on the manufacturing environment. This paper will also show how e-SPC can be used to control and then to stabilize the manufacturing operation. In conclusion, this paper demonstrates that e-SPC can significantly improve the performance of a manufacturing environment. Moreover, this paper can also be used as a reference for the implementation of e-SPC in any company.

And Storage

One of the problems facing the Die Attach engineers at Front of Line is the lack of control of their Die Attach Recipes. Currently, all Recipes are stored on a computer that is accessed by all users and transferred to the Die Attach machine using a diskette via a simple file copy operation. This kind of setup is vulnerable to the tampering of the Recipes, which may lead to problems in the production line, affecting the quality of the product. It is also difficult in the current setup to know which user copied the Recipe or changed its contents, making those activities untraceable. Finally, the manual management of Die Attach Recipes by file copy raises the risk of human error. To increase the quality of production as well as to protect Recipes from tampering, a computer-based program has been developed to fix the issues in the current setup. The Die Attach Recipe Management System, or DRMS, is a computer program that can do the following: (1) protect the Die Attach Recipes to prevent unauthorized users from accessing and changing them; (2) monitor users who access the Recipes; and (3) simplify the recovery and storage process to eliminate human error problems.

BACKGROUND: In Japan, as in other countries, medical accidents arising from human error can seriously damage public confidence in medical services, as well as being intrinsically undesirable. OBJECTIVE: Errors voluntarily reported by the healthcare practitioners in our institution (Kanazawa University Hospital) were considered to assess the contributory factors by using the accumulated error database in the hospital information system. METHODS: Medical errors in our institution during the period from July 1, 2000, to June 30, 2002, were counted using the error reporting system database and were classified. RESULTS: The number of errors reported during the investigation period was 1378, of which 78% were reported by nursing staff. Medication errors involving administration of injectable or oral drugs to inpatients, dispensing, and prescription accounted for about 50% of that number. Among dispensing errors, 53% were detected by patients or their families and 36% by nurses. CONCLUSIONS: The best method of error prevention is to learn from previous errors. For this purpose, the error reporting program is effective. In patient safety management, it is important to take into account the potential risks of future errors, as well as to capture information about errors that have already happened. For safety management, adoption of appropriate information technology (e.g., implementation of a prescription order entry system) is effective in reducing medication errors. However, it is important to note that serious errors can also arise in computer-based systems.

Abstract Aim Incomplete informed consent can lead to patient dissatisfaction and litigation.1 Time constraints, legibility, human error, limit completion of consent forms, putting surgeons and trusts at risk of litigation.2 The aim of this project was to assess legibility and completeness of handwritten consent forms, with the objective to improve legibility to 100% and risks listed to 100% of those endorsed by the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA).3 Method An initial baseline study in multiple hospitals across the UK identified 113 patients who underwent hemiarthroplasties. The consent forms were assessed for legibility and risks included, compared to those listed by the BOA. Pre-populated risks stickers were introduced in 1 district general hospital (DGH) and 2 cycles repeated again (62 patients identified). Results Overall, 35% of consent forms 1 were illegible; 100% of the time in the risks section. Mean number of risks missing was 2.34 and most frequently missed risk was ‘death’ (missing on 35.5% of consent forms). In the DGH that introduced stickers, consent forms were 100% legible and 100% compliant to the standards set by the BOA when the stickers were used. However, sticker use remained low; only used 20% of the time in the second cycle, marginally increased from the previous cycle (18%). Conclusions A high proportion of consent forms are not completed to BOA standards and are illegible. Pre-populated stickers could aid in achieving 100% legibility and 100% risk inclusion. The stickers will be implemented in other trusts and methods to increase compliance with sticker use will be trialled.

A fast, reliable and flexible appointment system is essential for ambulatory medical care facilities attempting to provide high quality medical care; computerization has helped meet these objectives. To date, however, central computing facilities have been used. These have been too expensive for widespread use, and their programs have not included specific features necessary to improve the quality of patient care. To overcome these limitations, a system was designed which can be implemented on a mini-computer, and which incorporates a variety of capabilities promoting personalized medical care in a busy clinic environment. This on-line system potentially can handle up to 250,000 patient visits/ year.Three files store the necessary data base: a patient file, an appointment file, and a physican file. Simple commands and special access techniques are used. In addition to on-line appointment making, confirming and cancelling functions, the system can communicate with patients of several languages; send reminder postcards; promote continuity of care by keeping track of which patients belong to each physician; enable each physician to determine his own clinic schedule routine; and provide physicians with master lists of their patients, including address, telephone number, and summaries of important medical information.The development of automated appointment systems on mini-computers permits widespread implementation in ambulatory medical care.

Communication Needs

Voice-messaging (also called voice mail) is a computer-based technology that uses a standard touch-tone telephone for input and retrieval. Because of its ability to enhance communication, voice mail is a powerful communication tool. Voice mail systems allow users to access their messages from any touch-tone telephone, twenty-four hours a day, distribute one message to many recipients, forward messages with covering remarks to other users, mark a message for future delivery, and create personal greetings. In addition, many of the voice mail systems currently available offer interfaces to electronic mail and fax communication—thereby providing a complete communication management facility. Although much has been written about the use of voice messaging, little is known about how voice messaging is used by faculty at institutions of higher education. The communication needs of this group differ in crucial ways from business organizations and even from the needs of their own administrators. While faculty have as strong a need for communication and interaction with their students and colleagues, their varied hours often prevent them from being available to do so. This article describes the unique communication needs of academicians and how innovative use of voice mail can address these needs. By creating a virtual office, voice mail can serve as a solution to: the conflict many academicians have between being in the office for students and conducting research; the frustration inherent in trying to contact committee members and colleagues; receiving messages meant for someone else; and extended absences from campus that put faculty out of touch with students and others.
