The majority of preventable medication errors occur at the administration stage. BCMA systems are used to improve safety and prevent errors in this stage. A variety of devices can be used for this purpose. Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires is a high complexity medical center implementing a BCMA project since 2015. It is currently migrating to PDA devices for nurses. The objective of this work is to evaluate the implementation of these new devices in selected wards at HIBA using a self-reported questionnaire. From 318 contacted nurses, 58 answered the questionnaire (18.2% response rate). Overall, agreement was high among all statements regarding the new devices. Nurses valued especially the increased safety to reduce errors, improvements in previous hospital processes and achieving improvements in the flow and quality of patient care. Nurses recommended the use of the device in their sector, with a mean score of 4.6/5 and 91.3% agreement, highest in total. This proved to be a cost-effective method of evaluation of the newly implemented devices and acceptance by nurses. Measures to incorporate the remaining nurses' feedback should be considered.
大多数可预防的用药错误发生在给药阶段。BCMA 系统用于提高该阶段的安全性并防止错误。为此可以使用各种设备。布宜诺斯艾利斯的意大利医院（Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires）是一家高复杂性医疗中心，自 2015 年以来一直在实施 BCMA 项目。目前，它正在向护士的 PDA 设备迁移。这项工作的目的是使用自我报告问卷评估在 HIBA 的选定病房中实施这些新设备的情况。在联系的 318 名护士中，有 58 名回答了问卷（回应率为 18.2%）。总体而言，所有关于新设备的陈述都得到了高度一致的认可。护士特别重视提高安全性以减少错误、改进以前的医院流程以及实现患者护理流程和质量的改进。护士建议在其部门使用该设备，平均得分为 4.6/5，有 91.3%的人表示同意，总体得分最高。这被证明是评估新实施设备和护士接受程度的一种具有成本效益的方法。应考虑采取措施纳入其余护士的反馈意见。
