L'administration des médicaments assistée par la lecture du code à barres fournit au personnel infirmier la possibilité de s'assurer qu'il procure le bon médicament à la bonne personne au bon moment selon la dose et la voie prescrites. Cette double vérification s'effectue en balayant le code à barres sur le bracelet de l'usager ou sur tout autre moyen d'identification et le code à barres apparaissant sur le médicament. L'information contenue dans le profil pharmaceutique informatisé de l'usager est alors comparée avec l'information recueillie lors de cette étape. Une alarme avertira l'infirmière en cas de divergence dans l'un ou l'autre des paramètres reliés à l'administration.
