The Patient Barcode Registration system (PBRS) is a computerized registration system, in which data can be entered besides via the keyboard also by means of bar codes. Among others personal data of the patients can be entered. The PBR system is for the support of medical, nursing and logistic handling during admission and treatment in the MIH.
The main objective of the PBRS system is to register patient data quickly and qualitatively correct by assistants in order to pass the medical co-ordination during a mass casualty incident optimally. In the system data can be registered such as urgencies, medical diagnosis, routing, treatment, names, addresses, dwelling places, birth data, location data, arrival and depart times. Beside it group level data can be established.
Data can be entered at more places. The computers ('stations'), where this data is entered, are connected in a network with each other. Data is stored in a central database. Bar codes may be used as information carrier for the entering of data. This increases the rapidity of entering and guarantees the quality of data.
