What is Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA)?

Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA) is a technology used in healthcare settings to ensure the accurate administration of medications to patients. This system involves scanning barcodes on the patient’s wristband and the medication packaging to confirm the "Five Rights" of medication administration: right patient, right drug, right dose, right time, and right route. The use of BCMA aims to reduce medication errors and enhance patient safety.
