An Analysis in Patient Safety : Alternative Patient Identification using a Mobile Application / En analys inom patientsäkerhet : Alternativ patientidentifiering med en mobilapplikation

Carrera Jeri, Patrick, Lind, Isabelle January 2020 (has links)
With a strong and continuous development in medical technology products, the need to connect the right data to the right person is increasing, a form of patient identification. When the identification is not working it could lead to catastrophic accidents like the wrong person being operated. The problem could be solved with a mobile application. After desktop research and interview a prototype was made that would work as a patient identifier. The prototype is made as a mobile application that uses the NFC technique to transfer data. After, among other things, interviews with staff from health care the conclusion was that only bigger errors within patient identification were documented. It was hard to know how many errors were made in total. Therefore, the solution to the problem could be a mobile application that reads ID bands. This could be one step in the patient identification chain to reduce even small errors. / Med en stark och kontinuerlig utveckling av medicintekniska produkter ökar behovet att koppla rätt data till rätt person, en form av patientidentifiering. När det inte blir rätt kan det leda till katastrofala olyckor som exempelvis att fel patient opereras. Detta skulle då kunna lösas med hjälp av en mobilapplikation. Efter skrivbordsundersökning och intervju framställdes en prototyp som ska fungera som patientidentifiering. Prototypen är gjord som en mobilapplikation som använder NFC-teknik för att överföra data. Efter bland annat intervjuer med anställda inom vården har slutsatsen dragits att enbart större felhandlingar kring felidentifiering har dokumenterats och att det har varit svårt att veta hur många felidentifieringar som totalt uppstår i vården. Därför skulle en lösning kunna vara en mobilapplikation som avläser ID-band vara ett steg i identifieringskedjan för att även minska små fel inom patientidentifiering.
