Escalation process for what to do when a medication barcode will not scan
The most recent ISMP Acute Care newsletter recommended having an escalation process for when a medication barcode will not scan. After surveying some of our pharmacists and nurses it seems that this is a gap our health system has. Do other places already have something like this in place and could share the steps and if it has been successful and utilized? Thanks!
