<p>Any medication error is prevented by checking the kind and amount of drug and confirming the patient when a doctor makes a medical report, when a pharmacist prepares a drug according to a medical report, and when a prepared drug is administered to a patient. A patient bar code (A) and a bar code (2) representing the kind and amount of drug to be administered are attached to a medical report (1). When a pharmacist prepares the drug, the pharmacist uses a bar code reader (31) to read the bar codes (A, 2) and a bar code (6) attached to e.g. the container (4) of the drug, retrieves information from a database of a server (10) through a second terminal (30), and compares the information represented by the bar codes with the retrieved information. A patient bar code (B) provided near the bed of a patient (7) is read by means of a portable terminal (40) and compared with the patient bar codes (A, B) to identify the patient.</p> |
