  • Title: Scanning medication barcodes improves accuracy at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
    Journal: Perform Improv Advis; 2003 Oct; 7(10):132-4, 129. PubMed ID: 14650978.
    Abstract:
    Performance improvement often means doing tasks faster, but it can also involve increasing the accuracy of a health care process and reducing error rates. At Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, PA, the implementation of a wireless barcode scanning system has increased the accuracy of nurses giving medications to patients, even though it has slowed them down a bit.
