The role of software engineering in the improvement of hemodialysis patient care

Nowadays, software engineering technology has a proper situation in medical sciences field. Some end use areas of computer and software in medicine are computer based learning, file keeping and recovery, calculations and put in the evidence based guidelines. In the software engineering area, this article implies a new and peculiar software in the field of medical science. "Virtual physician in hemodialysis ward" software, helps the physician in management decision making ( such as lab tests interpretation, dialysis adequacy measurement and intra access pressures study... ) by simple and rapid approach to the latest guidelines, professional medicine and drug information. This tool in addition to capture and filing of patients data and offering the reference sources and related articles, has 3 main capabilities as follow: 1. Interpretation of monthly routine lab test results 2. Assessment of hemodialysis adequacy 3. Record and analysis of intra-access pressures In summary; we hope, this software which is a reliable source for collection of scientific data, can be effective in improvement of health and also decreasing of medicare costs too.
