to ensure patient safety through the validation of medication administration.

2. Medication labeling arrow-down

  • 2D codes are created in the Pharmacy with medication, dosage, batch, expiration date and supplier information;
  • 2D codes are placed in every primary unit that leaves the Pharmacy to the clinical departments.

3. Scanning the patient wristband arrow-down

  • Nurses login with their ID badge
  • Identify patients by scanning their wristband
  • Identify the prescribed medication for each patient

4. Scanning each medication arrow-down

  • Identification of the medication, dosage, batch number and expiration date.

5. Matching arrow-down

    • The patient is not correct;
    • The medication does not match the prescription;
    • The expiration date is not valid;
    • The dosage is not correct;
    • The administration route method does not match the prescription;
    • The batch has been marked for recall;
