Respuesta :
Patient identification and Medication identification are achieved by using bar code scanners for medication administration.
Why bar code scanners are used for medication administration?
The bar code scanners are used for medication administration to medicate the patients at the correct time and with the correct prescription provided at the hospital by validating the medication document electronically to prevent human errors.
- Barcoded Medication Administration (BCMA) is an inventory control system
- A wristband which contains a barcode or Qr code is provided to the patient which has complete details of all of what are the medicines that the patient should take and at what time
- This band will be scanned by the clinician with a small scanning device at the time of medication
- All the details are being entered online manually through the computer by the pharmacist present at the hospital's pharmacy
- Each medicine has its own barcode, and the details will be found through this
- If the barcode point-of-care (BPOC) system does not match the medicines to be given with the order in the system, it alerts the clinician with a visual warning to rectify the error if made
