SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING MEDICAL ERROR
First Claim
1. A system for reducing medical error comprising:
- a) a worker device adapted to be worn on a worker, having;
i) a directional antenna working as a transmitter and a receiver;
ii) a battery; and
iii) a memory for storing data;
b) a compliance device having a directional antenna working as a transmitter, said directional antenna defines a work zone relative to said compliance device based on a signal strength received by said worker device from a monitoring signal transmitted from said compliance device;
c) an action device adapted to be installed to a pump bottle, having;
i) a pressure-sensitive mechanism for actuating said action device upon said worker pressing said pump bottle;
ii) an omnidirectional antenna adapted to transmit an action signal to be received by said worker device upon actuation of said action device; and
d) a base station adapted to receive said data transmitted from said worker device.

Abstract
A system and method for reducing medical error is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises a worker device adapted to be worn on a worker, a compliance device, an action device and a base station. The compliance device defines a work zone based on a signal strength received by the worker device from a monitoring signal transmitted from the compliance device. The action device is adapted to be installed to a pump bottle, having a pressure-sensitive mechanism for actuating the action device upon the worker pressing the pump bottle, and an omnidirectional antenna adapted to transmit an action signal to be received by the worker device upon actuation of the action device. The base station is adapted to receive data transmitted from said worker device.
