Slide Presentation from the AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference

BMV: Bedside Medication Verification

• BMV in LTC Gave Us Some "Opportunities" to be Creative
• Eleven Retail Pharmacies in 3 Counties
  • Partners in Medication Safety
  • Provided each pharmacy with the software and hardware to produce a bar code

Notes:

As previously discussed we didn't start with BMV.

And each has a pharmacist with their own ideas

New Slide—Initially slowed but now back to standard times

Bracelets to identify—Picture in the med cart in front of each med
