Introduction Serial communication is a common method of transmitting information sequentially or bit by bit between a computer and peripheral device.  Several digital types of equipment, such as RS-232 and RS-485, are useful in supporting serial communications. Chen & Zhang (2015) defines RS-232 as single-ended a standard that increases communication distance in low serial communications with low speed.  According to Osisiogu (2015), RS-232 is a form of serial communication that transmits data that defines the signals that connect data terminal equipment (DTE) like computer terminal data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) like the modem. The RS-232 is mainly applied in computer serial ports.  However, Osisiogu (2015) states that RS-485 is a standard serial communication method that defines the electrical of receivers or drivers used in digital multipoint systems that are balanced.  Equally, according to Grofu & Cercel (2014), RS-485 is the only serial communication interface with the capacity to internetwork with any transmitters and receivers in a similar network. According to Chen & Zhang (2015), RS-232 used unbalanced transmission, and it has limited communication distance; thus, it enables local communication between devices.…

Medical errors Medical errors are quite common among medical practioners and everyday clinical practice. Studies show that in every year there about 850000 medical errors that occur and result to about 40,000 deaths and of those cases 10 % lead to more detrimental health conditions. Errors result to counter law suits in which the patients seek compensation and cost to about 2 billion pounds every year hence showing the magnitude of the problem.
