Abstract

Mistakes during the administration of medication process are one major source of deaths and injuries caused by medical errors at hospitals. The use of mobile computing can seriously contribute to reduce this statistic and to improve the satisfaction of the public and healthcare professionals with the medical system. This paper presents a framework to develop mobile applications for the healthcare domain. The framework considers aspects that vary from the specification of the user interface to the integration of the mobile application with enterprise resources. This paper also presents a prototype of medication administration application developed under the proposed framework.
