- Abstract
- Barcode medication administration (BCMA) systems have been recommended to help reduce errors during the verification of patient identifiers (VPI) process. BCMA manufacturers claim their systems ensure the “Five Rights” of medication administration. Such claims are valid, however, only if healthcare workers follow a medication administration process consistent with the specific barcode design being used. This poster shows how the VPI process depends on the barcode design, which often varies by state, healthcare organization, and manufacturer.
