associated with it. Similarly, 2D barcodes contain rectangles of different dimension arranged in matrix form and, each rectangle denotes a character. Thus, the combination of rectangles arrangement in 2D square matrix makes a unique code for identification. Information related to the product can be uploaded on a central server and coupled with the code given on product barcode. Therefore, information regarding any product can be accessed using code generated by scanning barcode. Similarly, they are very

After extensive last minute digging, I finally found a manager who trusted me enough to supply me with the name of the inventory system that is used. Unfortunately for me this is all I could uncover from my employer, but it is a start. Wal-Mart uses the SMART system. Because of the way it is spelled I can only assume that it is an acronym. I have been searching for over an hour on Google.com and finally produced some meager results, but here they are. Background From the results produced, I am

Laboratory specimens being mislabeled are a everyday cause of harm to patients including repeat diagnostic procedures; repeat phlebotomy; delays in necessary surgical procedures; a performing unnecessary surgical procedures (Dunn and Moga,

100 inpatient admissions, more than one fourth of these events were due to errors and were therefore preventable? (Bane, et. al., 2010). What is bar-code medication administration? Quite simply, it is a system in which a hand-held barcode scanner ?reads? a barcode on a medication and a patient identification band and links it in an electronic medical records software. It facilitates the nurse?s

RFID (radio frequency identification) is a new technology that threatens to take the place of bar codes in the supply chain world. The technology uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. This innovation can provide many benefits in logistics and may revolutionize the entire industry. But, even though the technology provides many benefits it also has many drawbacks and may not be developed enough to become industry standard. The technology also may

Initializing Bar Code Technology in a New Electronic Health Record System Alizabeth Madison Liberty University Implementing Bar Code Technology in a New Electronic Health Record System “The United States based Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported in 1999 that at least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as 98,000 people, die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors that could have been prevented…” (Anonymous, 2015). When faced with more than a singular sentinel event related

of a barcode medication system, compared to not using the barcode medication administration systems. My focus on finding various studies had to rely on barcode medication, medication error rate, and technology-medication errors. There were many studies out there that focused on medication error rate, which then branched out into IV medication errors, pharmacy errors, nurse’s medication errors, wrong-dose medication errors, and documentation errors, which the list continued. With the barcode medication
