Abstract
Barcode medication administration (BCMA) implementation represents a change in a complex process requiring significant modifications in the work of nurses. Nurses' voices are critical for successfully implementing BCMA technology to support this change in nursing practice. Feedback from nurses who administered medications was critical to selecting and refining a BCMA system that supported their practice needs. Feedback regarding implementation status was critical for keeping key stakeholders across the institution informed of the progress and initial impact of the implementation. Nursing leadership engagement throughout the process supported the successful adoption of new workflow processes and technology.
