Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The JCAHO is proposing mandatory bar-code technology at bedside by 2007. Michael Cohen, left, of the Institute of Safe Medication Practices, says the deadline may be too soon. Others say it could be met and are starting to train staff members on the equipment. In the cover photo, workers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center learn how to operate infusion pumps that double-check dosages.
