Professional Barcode Consulting

DataRay commonly goes onsite to originate discussions of barcode integration and then continues with thorough involvement with the hospital to make sure that the barcode implementation works efficiently with the staff’s existing operating procedures and achieves the desired patient safety goals.

In our original onsite meeting with the hospital, we generally like to have head of all relevant departments, including IT, admitting, nursing, pharmacy, and any patient safety personnel. In our initial meeting, we usually discuss the following items:
