We are using a form of scanning, but there are still issues.  Want to get a new system that I think would be better.   Problems come when the scanning is done but milk set down somewhere other than the baby.  The two person deal doesn't really work either.

Subject: Bar coding vs 2 persons identifing breastmilk



I know I had brought this up earlier, and I appreciate the responses that I had received.  I need a little more information.  For those of you who scan bar codes, is it because your facility is paperless?  Are you required to scan the bar code because of HIMSS stage 6 or 7? (Apparently just means that the facility is/has achieved paperless designation).  It appears that my facility will be "forced" to bar code scan as we are a stage 7.  Totally paperless (hardly!) Problems with computers scanning patient bands and meds/fluids? All the time.  A colleague and myself really think that 4 eyes are better than a machine, but will probably be over-ridden.  Thoughts?  Thank you!  Brenda Enfield, RN, IBCLC
