The application of barcode technology as a kind of automatic identification/scanning system has significantly reduced human errors across several sectors. A typical error rate for human data entry is estimated to be one error per 300 characters typed. However, a barcode reader's error rate is anticipated to be one error per 35 trillion characters.
Whether it is to speed up the checkout process in the retail sector or track the inventory in a warehouse, barcode scanners have paved their way into a large variety of business operations. The devices help organizations conserve their resources, optimize the data entry process, improve real-time visibility of the products, and enhance employees productivity. For instance, several extensive healthcare facilitates in the U.S. use barcode technology to prevent medication errors.
Each patient is given a unique barcode wristband linked to the facility's computers, thereby ensuring a unique patient record. When a nurse scans the wristband and the medication to be administered, it is sent to the central computer where software cross-checks various databases. An approval or a warning is generated. Thus, the warning issued when the system detects a mismatch between the barcode label on the medication and the patient's record helps avoid any medication errors.
