The hospital that I am currently employed uses a bar code scanning device both on medication and on the patient’s ID band. You scan the medication, then the patients ID band to verify that that particular patient is to receive that drug, at that particular time, the correct route, and is there any information that you neeed to be aware of prior to giving that drug. How long have we been scanning groceries? I can’t believe that we don’t have this technology in every hospital throughout this country. This is definitely a preventable, tragic mistake.
