Keep Errors Out of Your Medication Administration System
Coming in behind heart disease and cancer, medication administration errors stand as the third leading cause of death in the U.S., eventually leading to recurrent relabeling efforts and strict compliance guidelines. On the hospital floor, staff is encouraged to verify the Five Rights to prevent errors before they occur.
- Right Patient
- Right Drug
- Right Time
- Right Dose
- Right Form
However, with the large influx of patients and current hospital overcrowding issues, manual verification can be overwhelming, contributing to an average of 100,000[1] medication administration errors reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) per year. With the correct technology and expertise, Barcodes Inc. equips your staff with medication administration solutions designed to overcome one of healthcare’s toughest challenges. See how we can help:
