Journal Article (Journal Article)
Bar-code medication administration (BCMA) effectiveness is contingent upon compliance with best-practice protocols.

This program provides an infrastructure for frontline nurses to partner with hospital leaders to continually evaluate and improve BCMA using a systematic process.
