چکیده
The Canadian Pharmaceutical Bar Coding Project was a multi-year, multi-stakeholder national initiative designed to establish a pan-Canadian approach to automated identification of medications along the entire supply chain and medication-use system, from pharmaceutical manufacturers to the patient’s bedside. The project was co-led by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada) and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) and was guided by a national advisory committee with 12 members, as well as a technical task force with 36 members from 6 healthcare sectors. The project has been widely endorsed by major Canadian healthcare practice and health quality organizations.*
