Leading hospitals are taking bar coding to the point of care to automate bedside medication administration and increase patient safety. By scanning bar codes on unit dose medications, patient wristbands, and staff I.D. badges to conduct automated "5 Rights" checks before administering medications, caregivers are preventing dangerous and even deadly errors. They're also meeting the Joint Commission's patient safety goals as well as improving processes and productivity.
