Making clinical decisions solely from System information may result in errors in care resulting in serious injury or death. " To further aid that verification step, it has been estimated that BCMA (Barcode Medication Administration) can reduce medication administration errors. Similarly, "Scan on Remove" functionality can be enabled within the MedStation to help capture an erroneously dispensed medication.

This can help identify a high-risk medication is being removed in error. " If a different medication is dispensed, the error may be caught during the check process prior to leaving the pharmacy.
