The proposed Stage 2 rule spans the healthcare continuum, but one objective, in particular, presents a significant opportunity to address a top source of patient harm. The criterion calls for 10% of medication orders to be tracked in electronic medication administration records (eMAR) that “automatically documents the administration of medication into certified EHR technology” using “assistive technology” (for example radio frequency identification [RFID] or electronically readable tagging such as barcoding.)
CMS is accepting comments on the proposed rule until May 7, 2012. Please share specific safety benefits that your institution has realized with BCMA. To submit electronic comments go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!
