Code Corporation Bedside Medication Administration Solutions

Medication errors have been identified as one of the largest safety issues in healthcare. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services estimates that more than 770,000 injuries and deaths occur each year as a result of Adverse Drug Events (ADEs), or medication errors, in hospitals.

Bedside medication administration is a point-of-care process that allows a nurse to electronically match a drug to patient information. The hospital's Health Information System (HIS) will then alert the clinician to any potential problems prior to medication administration. to ensure a patient's Five Medication Administration Rights are met:

• Right Patient
• Right Medication
• Right Dosage
• Right Route
• Right Time

By employing decision support software applications that verify the Five Rights, hospitals have documented lowering their medication administration error rates from 54 to 87 percent.
