The domestic 2D barcode module industry is slowly setting off another application boom, and its application fields have gradually expanded from people's daily life to all aspects of various industries, and two-dimensional codes can be seen everywhere. Today, QR code modules have become popular in the medical industry again.

In the US medical industry, the application of 2D barcode modules is very common. The two-dimensional barcode has a very large information capacity, high information density, and strong coding ability. It can encode a series of information such as text, photos, fingerprints, palm prints, voices, signatures, etc., and it is easy to print, low in cost, and strong in error correction. , the decoding reliability is high.

Several representative application scenarios of QR code modules in the medical industry.

Scenario 1: Record some basic information of the patient (such as name, age, blood type, ID number, emergency contact number, etc.), and also include medical information such as medical history and allergy history. In order to help doctors comprehensively understand some of the patient's conditions, this technology application is especially suitable for emergency patients and the elderly. The doctor only needs to scan the QR code to quickly confirm the patient's detailed information, complete the admission registration, and quickly perform first aid, which is not only efficient High and very accurate, buying precious time for patient first aid.

In addition, in the case of needing to be transferred for treatment, the patient's data, including medical history, injury type, proposed treatment method, treatment place, treatment status, etc., can be transmitted to the next treatment hospital. Since the input of all these information can be completed at one time by reading the two-dimensional barcode, unnecessary manual input is reduced and human errors are avoided.

Scenario 2: Reduce errors in medical work. First of all, it is widely used in the laboratory department, which is used for the whole-process tracking of laboratory items to avoid confusion. Secondly, within 100 meters of a hospital bed, there is a lot of mobility of people, drugs and equipment. A nurse is usually responsible for more than a dozen patients. How to minimize the hidden danger of errors? In this regard, QR codes have great A vast field of use. If there is a QR code on the patient's wristband, the patient can be effectively identified. At the same time, the corresponding QR code is affixed on the medicine and the inspection container. Nurses should check this information before executing the doctor's order, which can minimize the occurrence of human error.

In my country, there is a saying in the field of medical care that there are "three checks and seven pairs". "Three checks" refer to: check before operation, check during operation, and check after operation; "seven pairs" refer to: check bed number, check name , Check the drug name, check the dosage, check the time, check the concentration, check the usage. If the two-dimensional code can be effectively used for "seven pairs", operation errors can be minimized.

Scenario 3: Materials and financial management for hospital purchases, sales and inventory. Material management has always been a major headache for hospitals. Barcode management of materials can effectively prevent the occurrence of "running, running, dripping, and leaking", especially for high-value consumables in the operating room, which can bring considerable benefits to the hospital. economic benefits.

There are more applications of barcode modules in the medical industry! Typical examples are: medical blood analyzers, urine analyzers, medical test tube reading, and tablet computers used by nurses to patrol the room, all with barcode modules embedded in them! Barcodes are rapidly being applied to all walks of life!

Industry insiders also listed such a set of data: China's population is 4 times that of the United States; Chinese hospitals are twice that of the United States, there are about 7,000 hospitals in the United States, and the number of hospitals in my country is about 13,000 to 17,000; for hospitals with more than 1,000 beds , the average number of admissions per hospital in the United States is 60,000 per year, and the average number of admissions per hospital in China is 30,000 per year; the ratio of outpatient to inpatient numbers in Chinese hospitals is 7:3; the length of stay of Chinese inpatients longer, twice that of the United States. What do these data show? "After comparison, it can be found that Chinese hospitals are under greater pressure, and the pressure on doctors and nurses is also greater. It is urgent to use advanced technical means to help doctors and nurses improve efficiency and reduce errors."

Shenzhen XTIOT has been committed to QR code module application services for a long time. The scope of application has expanded from catering, beauty, tourism to real estate, large supermarkets and other industries, and gradually extended to all aspects of people's lives.
