The Department of Health’s £12 million Scan4Safety project has already reported early success through the 6 pilot projects. Early results claim that Scan4Safety has the potential to save lives and save up to £1 billion for the NHS over 7 years.
Scan4Safety is being piloted in Derby, Leeds, Salisbury, Cornwall, North Tees and Plymouth. Through using barcoding technology to record medication and equipment, from replacement hips to surgical tools, it enables items to be tracked and traced and as a result improves efficiencies, minimises wastage and improves patient safety.
Ingenica has been helping trusts such as Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust with successful barcoding for some time. Find out more here.
