"Two medical studies have reported that medication errors were at 10% in US hospitals. Three of the largest classes of these errors were labeled as wrong medication, wrong dosage and wrong patient. A reliable, quick, and proven method to remove these errors is the application of current product identification / bar code symbols on all healthcare products. Hospitals that barcode and implement its use rigorously have a less than 1% error rate."
