September 2011 | Volume 18 | Number 26 5 NURSING MANAGEMENT Feature New barcode checks help reduce drug round errors in care homes The switch to an electronic medication system has improved staff awareness of near misses and reduced workplace stress. Deidre Wild and colleagues report a checking system to match medication to patients using barcodes can reduce the number of near miss drug errors in care homes, research has found. This article describes the study, which aimed to evaluate the effect

management is easily controllable through many supply chain management based softwares, which makes incorporation of businesses easier. The practice becomes even simpler with the help of barcodes. Barcode technology helps out to distinguish and follow products since it’s an easy and inexpensive method. A barcode is an optical machine-readable image of data. A typical bar code generally consists sequence of parallel, adjacent bars and spaces. These predefined bar and space patterns are used to encode

Barcodes are used on a regular basis now days. We usually see barcodes in stores we shop at. The products use barcodes for tracking purposes and easy access to information. RFID refers to Radio frequency identification uses radio frequency to track products using tags and this potentially might replace the use of barcodes. The main idea that distinguishes RFID from barcodes is that the product doesn’t have to be in line of sight to be detected. A product can be tracked within up to 100’s feet of

and posttest non-equivalent comparison group study that focused on the medication administration accuracy error rates at a community based hospital. The units were observed and recorded at one month, six months, and 12 months after the electronic barcode medication administration system as implemented. According to Seibert et al., 2014), medication catastrophes attribute to errors in medication administration ranges from 2.4% to 1.1%, and can elevate to 34-49%. Although direct observation is a “standard”

growth potential. In addition to this, I am the current technology analyst at the Hunzal Logistics and Supply chain Management Company. The current technology we use to handle our logistics and flow of goods in our supply chain is the traditional barcode reader technology. This technology has been used for over 15 years now in Hunzal. The current CEO of Hunzal has seen discussion in the logistics and supply chain industry of this new radical technology known as the Radio Frequency Identification Device

alternative ways of working (p.196)” Several technologies are used in the supply chain management, such as EDI, ERP and Barcodes. The first part of this essay will critically review the applications of barcodes, especially 2D barcodes in China. Then, the challenges of using 2D

Introduction Overview of Automatic Identification techniques used in SCM Automatic identification is a technique which is used as an identification method for keeping appropriate stock units in the supply chain management, uses technologies such as RFID, barcodes etc. (Automatic Identification and Its Role in Warehouse Management, 2013). Automatic identification is a process of automatically recognizing the items, gathering the information about them, and entering that information right into computers without

training etc... First we are going to talk about the equipment that King Mart require to upgrade their systems, starting with the hardware what King Mart will need is barcode scanners for the pickup vans and in the warehouses and portable tablets for fast process. On the software side King Mart will need the software that comes with the barcode scanners so it can save all the details of the products being scanned. Also King Mart will need to hire more IT professionals to integrate the new software with

mail that you send out? The USPS's Intelligent Mail barcode, known as IMb for short, lets you encode letters and flats for tracing. It provides valuable information for each piece of mail being processed by the Post Office. It can be a valuable addition to your direct mail campaigns. What can you do with IMb? The Intelligent Mailing barcode offers you near real-time tracing of first class mail as well as periodicals and standard mail. The barcode can be put on outbound mail or on reply cards that
