PROJECTS
Below are some of my recent healthcare clients and a sampling of some of the projects I worked on. FDB Health makes drug decision support software that is integrated into leading EHR software (Cerner, Epic, Meditech, Siemens). UCSF Medical Center is on of the top 7 healthcare institutions in the country.
Latest Projects
FDB State and Federal Controlled Substances Module™
Reducing the fraud, waste, and abuse associated with controlled substances.
My role: principal programmer.
The epidemic of prescription drug abuse has intensified the need for FDB customers and other industry stakeholders to comply with myriad state and federal laws aimed at reducing the fraud, waste, and abuse associated with controlled substances. The FDB State and Federal Controlled Substances Module simplifies the e-Prescribing, dispensing, tracking, reporting, and claims processing of controlled substances as required by state and federal laws.
FDB Drug Images Module™
Identifying unknown drugs using high-resolution images
My role: principal programmer.
The Drug Images Module is an extensive database of high-resolution drug images of prescription and over-the-counter drugs to help users identify and reconcile drugs prescribed with drugs dispensed. This visual identification helps to protect patient safety throughout the medication dispensing and administration process. Users have access to thousands of drug images including solid oral drug products, tablets and capsules. Also included are dosage forms such as liquids, wrapped suppositories, ampoules, vials, ointment tubes, patches, and unit doses. The database can be linked to any 11-digit National Drug Code (NDC) file, including those provided by FDB.
FDB Drug Imprints Module™
Identifying unknown drugs using imprint descriptions
My role: principal programmer.
The Drug Imprints Module provides drug imprint descriptions for prescription and over-the-counter drugs. It helps verify drugs by physical details during the medication dispensing and administration processes. It helps clinicians and patients avoid medication errors by identifying drug products that are unpackaged, unlabeled, or unknown, compare the drug prescribed with the drug dispensed, and reconcile the differences. Multiple descriptors are provided including tablet and capsule descriptions, dosage form, coating, color(s), imprint(s), “score” marks, and shape. For liquids, the description includes color, flavor, and clarity. Several thousand drug imprints are included and are linked to 11-digit National Drug Code (NDC) files.
TPN Order Calculator
Calculates Total Parenteral Nutrition and generates order
My role: principal programmer.
Essentially, this application calculates nutrition requirements for infants and adds electrolytes, vitamins and other compounds specific to the needs of a given infant. There are several critical calculations that must be made to ensure that the ratios of the ingredients are in proper proportion. Or that if a given ingredient is present, another must not be present. Below is a graphic of the TPN Order Calculator.
