Business challenge
Barcode medication administration (BCMA) checks the patient and the medication at the bedside before a dose is given. It adds a safety net on top of ordering and dispensing: a wrong patient, drug or dose is caught before it reaches the patient.
Approach and leadership
- Planned the project and gathered requirements with clinical and pharmacy stakeholders.
- Configured the system and ran all levels of testing and validation.
- Trained users, prepared the go-live plan and the back-out plan, and deployed.
- Supported the hospitals after go-live.
Measured impact
BCMA acts as a patient-safety net across 7 hospitals, and it reduced and prevented medication errors.
