Scanning Medications

When scanning medications in the MAR, the nurses are able to manual enter the patient's medical record number which allows them to bypass a critical step in scanning the patient's armband at the bedside. Can we please remove this capability thus ensuring that all patient armbands are scanned prior to administering medications?

      YES!! This is a HUGE patient safety issue and there is no way we can track if they are doing this unless we "catch" them.
