Bar-Coded Medication Verification Systems (BMVS)

IRM's Bar-Coded Medication Verification Systems (BMVS) are designed to enhance the safety of the medication administration process. This technology, in concert with the hospital’s electronic medical record system, allows clinicians to triple-check each medication before it is dispensed – assuring that the right medication is given to the right patient at the right time, in the right dose and in the right manner. BMV checks against the “Seven Rights”:

  1. Right patient
  2. Right drug
  3. Right dose
  4. Right time
  5. Right route of administration
  6. Right start time
  7. Right stop time
