How informatics nurses use bar code technology to reduce medication errors.

This review examines literature on the extent of nurse ability as a user of health information technology in drug delivery, provides training on the use of required hardware and software, and reduces the number of available workarounds I emphasize the role of nurses. . It interferes with the effectiveness of health information technology and deals with other problems related to innovation and unintended consequences

Medical information technology is considered a promising strategy to prevent misdiagnosis 4-6 For example, computerized medical instruction input has been shown to reduce the incidence of serious misdiagnosis by 55% I will. Other industries other than health sector are examples. Since eMAR enters the order of medicines electronically through the doctor's order entry or pharmacy system, its implementation can reduce posting errors. Given the possibility of improving the safety of drugs, the eMAR technology of barcode is a standard for achieving 'meaningful use' of health information technology and financial incentives under the US Reconstruction Reinvestment Act of 2013 It is seen as.

The use of electronic bar codes can reduce dosage mistakes and make this technology increasingly popular in hospitals and health systems. This technology will ultimately add another level of verification to the "five rights" drug management that the nurse already knows. Appropriate medication should be administered to the appropriate patient management route at the proper timing and appropriate dosage. The mechanism is as follows. The provider issues electronic orders through the pharmacy system. The pharmacist confirms the order to confirm that there is no allergy or drug interaction. When the pharmacist approves the order and schedules the dose, that information is handed to the electronic medication management record (eMAR) and the nurse.

Techniques such as smart pumping and barcode assisted drug management (BCMA) can help reduce errors in drug dosage when used properly. Nurses using BCMA will scan the patient's wristband and medication code before giving medication. In one study, BCMA reduced incorrect dose error by 90.4%, drug management error by 80.7% and lack of prescription drug by 72.4%. Warn when dose falls out of range 15, 18 Manrique-Rodriguez et al. The advantage of using intravenous administration was investigated. Intelligent Pump 18 for Pediatric ICU Patients 18 A total of 624,252 injections were initiated and 486,875 drugs were prepared through the Smart Pump Drug Library. The compliance of user security software is 78%. The use of a smart pumping device resulted in the interception of 92 programming errors; 84% of these medications were used for pain, sedation, heart disease and infectious diseases
