Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA) technology improves patient safety by verifying the correct patient and medication prior to administration. Despite strong evidence showing up to a 50% reduction in medication errors, baseline BCMA compliance in the cardiac catheterization lab was 0% following EHR implementation. High-acuity and fast-paced environments and workflow barriers contribute to low adoption, with workarounds reported in over 60% of medication administrations.
