It is important to accurately track medication throughout the hospital. Without a tracking system in place, patients are at risk of being given incorrect medications which can put them at harm. Make sure your hospital begins tracking medications at the pharmacy by using pharmacy barcode scanners. 
To accurately and easily track medication in the pharmacy, you’re going to need a reliable barcode scanner. But with so many barcode scanners out there today, how do you know which one to choose? Different scanners have strengths in different applications, while some are better in industrial environments, others are better for patient identification or inventory tracking.
Barcode scanners by Honeywell provide a quick and accurate way to verify prescriptions and medications. Honeywell has handheld scanners as well as hands-free scanning options for the pharmacy. Honeywell healthcare scanners increase accuracy in a variety of healthcare applications including in the pharmacy. Honeywell’s line of healthcare scanners are also made with specialized disinfectant-ready plastics to minimize the risk of spreading infectious diseases.
