1. A wireless terminal for use in a medical care administration management system, comprising:

  • a code scanner, configured to read scan codes;

    a processor, configured to determine whether the scan codes correspond to patient data or instructions; and

    a wireless transceiver, configured to wirelessly transmit the scan codes read by the code scanner to a system computer;

    wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether a scan code corresponding to an instruction can be performed locally, and is further configured to perform the instruction locally without transmitting the instruction to the system computer;

    wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to communicate with the system computer if a scan code is to be transmitted to the system computer, and the wireless transceiver is further configured to transmit scan codes to the system computer during scheduled communication sessions;

    wherein the processor includes a data processing module which is configured to determine whether a scan code instruction is an immediate instruction, and is configured to transmit an immediate instruction to the system computer prior to the next scheduled communication session with the system computer; and

    wherein the wireless terminal further comprises a scheduling module (182) configured to track elapsed time after a predetermined medication administration time and will generate an alert or notification message if the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined latency time.
