The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center implemented Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) between 1999 and 2000 in 161 Medical Centers or Health Systems. BCMA has had a major impact on inpatient licensed nursing staff. Nurses have moved from manual to electronic medication documentation, increasing the complexity of medication administration. There has been acceptance of BCMA by the nurses who are able to see the positive benefits and patient safety aspects. A marked decrease in medication administration errors is a result of implementing BCMA.
退伍军人事务部医疗中心于1999年至2000年期间在161个医疗中心或医疗系统中实施了条形码药物管理(BCMA)。BCMA对住院持牌护理人员产生了重大影响。护士们已从手工药物记录转变为电子药物记录,这增加了药物管理的复杂性。能够看到积极益处和患者安全方面的护士们已经接受了BCMA。实施BCMA导致药物管理错误显著减少。
