AIM to Educate Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Sector on Bar Code and RFID Systems
“The FDA estimates that the bar-code rule, when fully implemented, will help prevent nearly 500,000 adverse events and transfusion errors over 20 years. The economic benefit of reducing health care costs, reducing patient pain and suffering, and reducing lost work time due to adverse events is estimated to be $93 billion over the same period. “Given these estimates and as the organization representing experts in the bar code and RFID field AIM is committed to providing leadership and education in this arena,” continued Mullen.”
