Healthcare bar code applications have developed more slowly than industrial or supermarket bar codes, but they are beginning to gain acceptance. Clinical laboratories that use bar code systems have already improved productivity and, more importantly, patient care through reduction of human clerical errors in identifying laboratory samples. Soon, integration of proven technology should expand the benefits of automatic ID to a broader range of healthcare applications.
医疗保健领域的条形码应用发展速度比工业或超市条形码要慢，但它们正开始获得认可。使用条形码系统的临床实验室已经提高了工作效率，更重要的是，通过减少识别实验室样本时的人工抄写错误，提升了患者护理质量。很快，成熟技术的整合将把自动识别的优势扩展到更广泛的医疗保健应用领域。
