Developing the GS1 monitoring tool: a standardised set of patient safety outcome measurements
While some studies have investigated the efficacy of barcoding, the outcomes assessed across trials are different.
This inconsistency in measured outcomes poses concern when evaluating the effects of barcoding on patient safety and quality of care.
The objective of this work was to define a minimum, internationally appropriate set of patient safety outcome measurements for evaluating, generating evidence and improving the implementation of GS1 standards.
