Toward a safer label.
Abstract
Pharmacy literature has reminded hospital pharmacists that our computer generated intravenous and medication labels often fall short in the area of legibility and usability. A new computer system and Zebra Stripe S-500 printers (Zebra Technologies Corporation, Vernon Hills, IL) allowed Methodist Medical Center to reexamine our labels and to join with nursing to develop a safer, more user friendly set of labels. These new labels have been well received by our nursing staff.
