Barcode Scanners

Barcode scanning increases patient safety by reducing errors

The healthcare industry is unique in its primary use of barcodes for patient safety. To reduce patient medication errors, more hospitals are moving toward barcode medication administration (BCMA) systems to electronically scan patient wristbands for positive patient identification to reduce preventable adverse drug events. This is especially true for critical care and infant patients who are unable to verify their identity.

With the acceptance of 2D symbologies and the continued use of 1D barcodes, you need the right scanner that can process the information contained in the symbol to your HIS (hospital information system). Dasco will match your hospital application with the proper scanner from Honeywell or Intermec.

Barcode data collection can be accomplished through stand alone scanning stations, portable data collection units or complete radio frequency data collection systems. Our experienced staff and programmers will show you how automating our data collection process will improve your bottom line.
