Information processing device, update information notification method, and program
In order to make it possible to further enhance convenience to a user, there is provided an information processing device provided with a content information group generating unit for generating a content information group in which a plurality of items of content information displayed in a predetermined region on a display screen are listed in a predetermined sequence, an update detection unit for detecting content information that has been updated from among the content information constituting the content information group, and a display control unit for causing at least a portion of the content information group to be displayed on the display screen in accordance with the sequence, and causing to be displayed on the display screen an indicator for indicating at least a positional relationship of an updated portion which is a portion of the content information group that corresponds to the updated content information with respect to the entire content information group.
Despite the fact that since 1985 the government of Quebec increased by 5.75 % on average the amount of money spent on healthcare per year, little improvement was noted. It is obvious that an optimal use of resources is essential to reduce waiting times and provide safer and faster services to patients. The use of new technology can contribute to improve the healthcare system efficiency. Our study aims to assess the impact of a medication distribution technology on 1) the performance of a health and social services center’s pharmacy, 2) the performance of one care unit in a nursing home and on 3) the medication-use process safety. To measure performance we were inspired by the Lean approach. The results show that medication distribution technology is considered as an effective way to significantly detect medication errors, to allow nurses to focus more on patients and pharmacy to react more rapidly to changes in patient medications.
