Medical Errors Reduction Initiative; Annual rept. 12 Apr 2006-11 Apr 2007

摘要

The Valley Hospital of Ridgewood New Jersey is proposing to extend a limited but highly successful specimen management system. The system utilizes barcodes and hand held technology at the patient's bedside to significantly reduce medical error by creating a positive identification system at the point of care. In addition The Valley Hospital looks to expand this success by implementing electronic medication administration and transfusion systems which function with the same technology as the specimen collection system.
