Carayon P, Wetterneck TB, Hundt AS, et al. J Patient Saf. 2008;3(1):34-42.

In this AHRQ-funded study, the investigators found large variability in how nurses used a barcode medication administration system. They conclude that directly observing human interaction with technology may be valuable in identifying opportunities for improvement.
