Medical device tracking via QR code and efficiency analyze

Abstract

Anesthetic gases called Desflurane supplied by distributor Company to the hospitals. These anesthetic gases transferred to the patients in a controlled manner via medical devices named Vaporizer (VAP) which are integrated to the anesthesia devices; used especially in operating rooms. Updated hospital VAP inventories are reported to the head office by the sales team on a monthly basis. By tracking the monthly gas consumption of the VAP's, we are calculating the efficiency of devices per hospital. Thus, the performance metrics of the sales team can be evaluated. Which device; belongs to which hospital and under whose responsibility, device manufacturing date etc. can be easily observed at first look. However, missing/false statements have a huge negative impact on inventory, efficiency and performance indicators. The newly established tracking and analysis system, at the base of Clustering Method, comes with Quick Response (QR) Barcode systems which will be scanned via smartphones or tablets. The sales team easily share VAP's; current GPS Coordinates, correct inventory list and device data, responsible person etc. Analyzing and evaluation of inventory, efficiency and performance will be done clearly, trustable and easily. This will be an useful application, for such an integrated system already does not exist.
