Application of the identity recognition system based on the Itouch in the patients care security

Abstract

Objective To research the effect of the identity recognition system based on the Itouch in the patients care .Methods The study group used the identification system of Itouch in all aspects of nursing intervention .Patients without this system were selected as the control group .The rate of operation error , time spent on writing and patient satisfaction rate were compared between groups .Results The error rates of intravenous infusion , oral medicine distribution , specimen collection intravenous injection and skin test were 0.58%,1.42%,0.45%,0.55%,0.62%in the study group, and 0.72%,2.23%,0.79%,0.64%,2.93%in＆amp;nbsp;the control group, there were significant differences between two groups （χ2 =5.21,38.37,6.39,7.26,4.85, respectively;P〈0.05）.The number of patients who were very satisfied , satisfied and dissatisfied was 685,506 and 55 in the study group and 566 , 566 and 146 in the control group , there were significant differences between two groups （χ2 =55.48,P〈0.01）.The time nurses spent on writing , signature, changing orders and checking were （24 ±12）min,（16 ±3）min,（14 ±5）min in the study group, and （206 ±42）min,（72 ±6）min,（69 ± 17）min in the control group.There were significant differences between two groups （t=22.82,45.72,17.00, respectively;P 〈0.01）.Conclusions The identity recognition system based on the Itouch was helpful to improve the accuracy rate , work efficiency and the satisfaction rate of patients and to reduce the nursing adverse events.
