This information is a little dated, but is the benchmark data for which we compare all current systems. Automated dispensing cabinets -ADUs- like Pyxis and Omnicell have been around for quite some time, but are currently being used in conjunction with newer technologies to improve patient safety. The administration phase of medication is the last, best hope we have for catching a mistake before it reaches the patient, and that is where bedside barcoded medication administration will make it's biggest impact. Perhaps advances in technologies to improve medication safety will lead to newer studies. Until then, this is what we have to work with. You are correct, Laura.
