Barcode medication administration (BCMA) technology reduces risk of many types of medication errors (e.g., wrong drug, wrong patient, omission). This qualitative study of nurses in low- and high-BCMA-use hospital wards describes barriers and facilitators to use. Barriers were consistent across use levels, suggesting that team culture and accountability play a crucial role in increasing BCMA use.
