MediBuddy is a device similar to the forehead thermometer sold by Braun, but is much more advanced. This device is swiped across the forehead similar to the thermometer, but takes more readings than just the temperature. Using advance technology, it reads things such as heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. It uses these readings to determine if the “patient” needs to take an over-the-counter medication or if they should go to a doctor or hospital. It will make the decision in 30-45 seconds. The device will display the decision on a lighted display as well as read it out for those who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low-vision, or elderly.…
The device or system supporter has many functions, these function are to allow the clinician to be have portable access to health information about a patient. This device can cover safety about medication administration, and for billing purposes. Most hospitals use them today and the hospital bracelets are tagged with a bar code on them. Hospitals and other organization need to consider the challenges that may be faced using this kind of device; the hospital must already have a COPE system installed. Having the COPE system already installed means that the medication information would not need to be entered manually. The COPE system would take care of most of the medication business for the clinicians (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).The device also depends on the ability to detect barcodes of medication bottles (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).The bar codes must also be present on the medication bottles in order to receive data on the dosages or calculations (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).In fact, the FDA has required that all medication bottles have bar codes on the bottle. Having the barcodes on the bottle, will give the clinician information about the drug. Use of this device can be a big challenge for smaller hospitals because purchasing drugs by unit is very expensive (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).Lastly, not all drugs are easy to scan the barcode. For example, multiple IV bags that may be used in intensive care, are difficult to scan by unit (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).Another challenge may include the names of the drugs; they may not be the same has the names in the pharmacy (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).This is a problem because the pharmacy uses a system that brings up the drug name, serial number, and manufacturer for example (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki,…
In making my recommendation for Health Mart I have chosen Windows based Operating systems, both for the clients and servers. Each client and server is to run the minimum system requirements listed below to allow for each necessary program to function correctly.

It’s pretty much common sense that without members, there wouldn’t be an Organization. Or there could be one, where there only would be two to five members. But what reform can a group of five members bring, as opposed to what a group of hundreds or maybe thousands of students can? When make the National Organization of Collegiate American Students Needing Help (NOCASH), I would first look for people that share the same interest as me, that would be willing to become members, by putting up posters and giving out fliers that have our mission statements, easy to understand and explained, on it. Then comes the tricky part: Money. Without the funds, it is less likely that we would be able to succeed. With the members we have, we would make membership dues for about 3 to 5 dollars a person, and engage in direct mail solicitation to raise money, though that is less likely to achieve anything.…
