| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 管理研究所 === 103 === The current Taiwan nursing workforce shortage is a very critical problem. Poor workplace environment and regular overtime deter the younger generation unwilling to join the nursing career. This nursing staff shortage jeopardizes and lowers the quality of patient care.
An innovated solution to this nursing shortage to improve health care quality is through medical technology ICT (Information and Communication Technology, ICT) to assist nurses to complete their nursing work efficiently and reduce their workload. When patients are administered with an intravenous drip treatment in medical institutions, frequent check whether the intravenous drip is empty or not by nursing staff is required which adds to nursing staff’s already heavy workload in patient care.
This study focuses on issues related to health care services ICT innovation and investigates the feasibility and R & D for developing the medical products for detecting the real intravenous drip empty to improve patient care.
We are using the ICT and Internet of Things (IOT) concepts to evaluate the innovative drip monitoring equipment and physiological monitoring systems. We believe comprehensive monitoring mechanism is not only for personal use, but also is more suitable for medical institutions with the systematic processing.
With this drip monitoring system, it can help nurses to precisely administer and control patient’s intravenous drip flow volume. It can also signal nurses when it is empty. We hypothesize that the drip monitoring system can improve the quality of medical services.
