VHA to measure impact of Bridge barcode patient safety system

s are now finding BPOC to be an easier and much less costly starting point for integrating technology into the error-reduction process.

Research shows that almost half of all medication errors that reach a patient occur at the bedside, which is why Bridge targets this segment of the patient encounter for intervention. Published studies also show that BPOC technologies like MedPoint--which help nurses verify they are giving the right patient the right medication and dosage via the right route of administration at the right time-- can prevent more than 80 percent of medication errors.

MedPoint automates medication administration documentation and reporting, and incorporates the most current information available regarding medications and medication administration. Alerts and warnings are given as needed, and potential errors are identified immediately.

Easily integrated into clinician workflow to encourage caregiver acceptance and compliance, MedPoint makes use of an intuitive user interface deployed on portable bedside computing devices that utilize wireless technology to connect to its sophisticated server-based software.
