Developing the GS1 monitoring tool: a standardised set of patient safety outcome measurements

While some studies have investigated the efficacy of barcoding, the outcomes assessed across trials are different.
Developing the GS1 monitoring tool: a standardised set of patient safety outcome measurements

The objective of this work was to define a minimum, internationally appropriate set of patient safety outcome measurements for evaluating, generating evidence and improving the implementation of GS1 standards.
