A nurse administering vaccines cannot accurately track and document batch numbers during reconstitution and administration when multiple staff are involved, leading to potential documentation errors and patient safety concerns.

Workarounds Described

• Manually jotting down batch numbers on paper or relying on memory
• Multiple staff reconstituting vaccines and pooling syringes without tracking individual batch numbers
• Documenting batch numbers after administration based on recollection

Implied Software Gaps

• A digital system that automatically captures and tracks vaccine batch numbers during reconstitution and administration
• A tool to associate each administered dose with the correct batch number for accurate documentation
• A collaborative platform where multiple staff can log vaccine preparation in real time

VaxTrace Batch Logger

A mobile app for vaccine administration that scans vaccine vial barcodes to automatically log batch numbers and expiration dates, and tracks each dose to the patient record. It prevents documentation errors by real-time capture and reconciliation, ensuring accurate inventory and patient safety.
