There are medication verification compliance reports for employees/departments, but it does not show which medications were not scanned. It only shows the total number of medications. If a report can specify which medications are given but not scanned, it will help pharmacy identify which medications need to be investigated why they are not scanning properly.
I agree with Maryanne! One of our quality projects is to reduce medication errors. We ask the staff to notify pharmacy when a medication doesn't scan, or they get error messages, but it can be hard for them to stop in the moment to capture the information.
Yes to everything Maryanne B stated!
The Medication Warnings and Overrides Report shows what was scanned if a scan was attempted along with the warning and/or override received. This report may help with troubleshooting scanning.
Yes! We need a more detailed report that includes who scanned the meds, what department they are in, reasons not scanned, and if barcodes were actually scanned versus numbers typed in. A lot of the time we need to find out the reasons why they are not scanning - whether it is a pharmacy issue, hardware/software issue, or user issue. Having this information will help us target areas for improvement.
