Reduce medication errors with barcode technology

One of the most effective methods of preventing medication errors is by implementing a barcode system to identify medications at the unit-dose level for dispensing and administration. This use of barcoding sets a strong foundation for patient safety in your hospital pharmacy.

Barcode label printing in the hospital pharmacy allows you to expedite medication check-out and more conveniently, accurately track your inventory, and create unit-dose labels on medications that can then be tracked at the patient bedside. Dasco's pharmacy labels include variable data at the unit-dose level to ensure that the right medication is administered at the right dosage to the right patient.

Dasco offers a complete selection of thermal printers, labels, scanners, and software that stand alone or interface with your pharmacy information system. Our thermal transfer system reduces cost and improves efficiency over laser printing systems. Dasco can help you upgrade your labeling system to meet current standards with little to no changes in your software.

Dasco's labeling and barcode solutions enhance hospital prescription processing through accuracy, legibility, and protecting your patients' privacy. Call a knowledgeable Dasco representative toll-free at 800-927-7701.
