Abstract

Healthcare teams function and collaborate with other teams to provide patients their utmost care and uphold a high quality medical service that avoids errors in procedures, treatment, and medications. This study aims to focus on the issue of medication administration and using Quick Response (QR) codes or Radio-Frequency Identifications (RFIDs) to maintain proper and correct medication administration. The study identified that the medication process is a multifaceted and crucial procedure within the healthcare domain, carrying inherent risks to patients and the operational integrity of hospitals. Establishing a secure medication administration process or system is imperative to circumvent such vulnerabilities. The researchers used a Scoping Review to obtain evidence of the effects of QR codes and RFID systems in medication administration. The study precluded the paradigm shift in contemporary healthcare practices as it holds great potential in enhancing the medication administration process in healthcare settings, specifically by weighing the benefits of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology and addressing the prospective challenges healthcare workers offered better quality of care, improved patient safety, and have streamlined navigation of workflow.
