Manual bar-code scanning -goal

Hello,
I was looking to see if anyone has any benchmark in place to limit the use of manual scan rates. Our EHR accepts the rx number as a manual scan rate but this is a safety issue as it does not verify the correct drug via NDC. When looking at scan rates for nursing most have very low manual rates but there are a handful of nurses with a much higher percent of manual scan rates. Our combined manual and scan goal is for the nurses to be 98%
Thanks,
Nancy
