Patent Images
1. A method of capturing drug administration data at a point of care comprising:
- providing a hand held device comprising a scanner configured to scan identification codes or symbols, a processor and a data storage device connected to the processor;
storing patient data and a drug identifier to the data storage device;
transmitting the patient data and the drug identifier to a server; and
correlating the patient data and the drug identifier to determine correlations between patient populations and drugs.

Abstract
A method and a system for capturing drug administration data in a medical environment. Patient and drug identifiers are inputted into a handheld device comprising a scanner, a processor and a data storage device. The patient identifiers and the drug identifiers are transmitted to a server. The patient and drug identifiers are correlated to show patient, doctor, hospital and geographic drug administration correlations.
