Project website: http://seniord.ece.iastate.edu/may0622/
This project will help alleviate miscommunications between doctors and patients. Specifically, it will give patients an alternate means of obtaining information they may have missed or forgotten during their visit to the doctor’s office. This will be possible without returning to the doctor’s office or taking away from the doctor’s time.
Two solutions were designed such that the largest possible base of patients will be able to access and benefit from the system.

Client
Studies show that patients often miss important information during doctor visits or forget this information after leaving the doctor’s office.
This project suggests ways in which patients could retrieve important information without the need of contacting the doctor, or using more of the doctor’s time. The project focuses on prescription information for McFarland Clinic in Ames and ways to get this information to the patients. The solutions that were devised include an automated phone system and a touch screen kiosk that would be located in pharmacies/drug stores.

Project Schedule
Intended Users and UsesUsers• Prescription medication users
Uses• Review prescription information from outside doctor’s office
Kiosk • Pharmacy/drug stores • Controlled temperature 50-80°F • High traffic area
Phone System • Controlled central location • Controlled temperature • Limited physical access
Functional Requirements
Design Objectives
Operating Environment Design Constraints
Measurable Milestones • Must be affordable for pharmacies to purchase • Simple to use • Easy to use by ill and elderly patients • Accessible from multiple locations
• Project plan documentation • RFID PoC design, testing, demonstration, and documentation • IVR specification documentation
• Present relevant information to customers • Users must authenticate themselves • Capable of connecting to EMR databases • Results should be printable
• Provide security against unauthorized access • Cost must be minimal for patients • Prescription bottles must remain compact • Support different EMR databases
Assumptions
Limitations
• EMR database available• RFID reader/tags available • Some form of authentication required • Kiosk/Phone system able to communicate with EMR
• Actual patient medical records unavailable • Access must be quick and easy for patients and doctors • Cost must be minimal to patient • Prescription bottles must remain compact
Problem StatementStudies have shown that, on average, patients understand and retain less than 40% of the information and instructions provided to them by the doctor during an office visit.
General SolutionBy focusing on one clinic and specifically prescription information, the team hopes to improve patients’ understanding of their medical treatment and avoid dangerous misunderstandings.
End Product• Documentation• Proof-of-concept (PoC) of RFID kiosk• Specifications and requirements for automated phone system
Approach
Testing Considerations
Technology ConsiderationsSoftware languages• Java• C#
Scanning technologies• Barcode• RFID
Automated phone systems• Interactive voice response (IVR)
• Research current medical practices• Research solutions in place at one clinic• Create systems for remote information access for a wide range of patients
