Abstract:
Computerized tracking systems of surgical devices are important hospital administrative tools for the management of quality and assessment of clinical risks. The main obstacles to setting up these systems are linked to the many different types of medical devices which need to be tracked. As result many devices are excluded from traceability to the detriment of patient safety. We design and developed a relational database for a tracking system considering also devices usually untracked.
