Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for order and information processing in healthcare facilities, in particular in nursing homes, hospitals, medical practices and pharmacies. The aim is the simplified recording, management and synchronization of medical and nursing supplies across multiple end devices, including the automatic notification of users in the event of relevant system events. State of the art

[0002] Common ordering systems for nursing and healthcare facilities are predominantly based on web-based portals or traditional ERP systems. Access is usually granted via username and password. This is often inconvenient for staff, as passwords can be forgotten or have to be entered multiple times.

[0003] Furthermore, many of these systems have limited cross-device usability. In practice, mobile devices such as tablets can often only be used as a browser-based front end, while integration with a management system and real-time data synchronization do not occur. Moreover, existing solutions lack the ability to automatically notify users of system events, such as shipping confirmations or status changes, on multiple devices simultaneously. Object of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to provide a system that - functions consistently across different end devices (pad, web application, management system), - ensures automatic data synchronization, - and informs users on multiple devices simultaneously about relevant events. Solution to the task

[0005] The task is solved by a system according to the protection claims. The system comprises: - a PAD device for offline order entry, - a web application that can be used on different end devices, - as well as a central administration system for data processing and forwarding.

[0006] All components access a shared database. This enables automatic synchronization of data between the end devices.

[0007] Furthermore, when system events occur, particularly shipping or status changes, an automatic notification is triggered and transmitted to multiple devices of the respective user. This enables immediate and simultaneous communication with staff. Advantages of the invention - Cross-device use: PAD, web and management system work on the same database and are synchronized. - Automatic synchronization: Data is updated without manual intervention, both online and after offline use. - Multiple notifications: Users receive system messages simultaneously on multiple devices. - Greater transparency: Shipping and status changes are displayed immediately. - Integration into existing processes: The system can be linked to warehouse or management systems, thus reducing administrative effort. - Practical application: Healthcare facilities receive an easy-to-use, reliable tool for material management and ordering.

Claims

[1] System for cross-device ordering and information processing in healthcare facilities, comprehensive - a portable device (PAD) with a user interface for recording and displaying orders, - a web-based application for recording and displaying orders, - as well as a central management system for processing incoming orders, with all three components accessing a common database and automatic synchronization of order data taking place. [2] System according to claim 1, wherein, upon the occurrence of system events, in particular shipping or status changes, automatic notifications are sent to the participating terminal devices of the users. [3] System according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the notifications are transmitted simultaneously to multiple terminal devices of the same user. [4] System according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the orders are recorded both offline and automatically synchronized after a network connection is restored. [5] System according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the management system provides an overview of all orders in real time and enables forwarding to a warehouse management system.
