Abstract:
This article presents FID-MED, an integrated platform composed of a web based clinical application, named FIDCARE, and a medical cart called FIDRUN and describes the possibilities that FID-MED offers, both for quality assurance and risk management, and for cost reduction. FID-MED is an industry research product and the design effort aims to reduce the risk in healthcare services by means of a deep integration between hardware and software and leads to a Hospital Information Systems (HIS) including a specifically designed medical cart. The introduction of key concepts, as abstract drug, and the overall and complete control of clinical processes provides valid tools for the control and rationalization of costs. FID-MED aims to overcome barriers that prevent the adoption of a HIS using enabling technologies – Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) and Internet of Things (IoT) – adherence to the main international standards – Health Level 7 (HL7), Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine (DICOM®), etc. – and the ease of integration with third-party software.
