in Healthcare
written by Karen M. Longe;
foreword by Mitch Cooper
|
|
| |
A mandate for a bar coded Universal Product Number (UPN) on all
healthcare products by July 1999 has been issued by the leading healthcare group
purchasing organizations (GPOs). For companies just getting started or even those with UPN
projects in development, the entire process of determining which accepted UPN format to
use, developing company wide data bases and applying and using bar coding, can be
overwhelming. |
| |
|
|
| |
However, there is relief in sight! The systematic approach
suggested by Karen M. Longe, author of
UPN
Bar Code Labeling: A Guide for Implementation in Healthcare, will take some of the
anxiety out of the process. This book will help the bar code novice understand the
technology and, for those already familiar with bar code, the book will help them apply
the technology and meet the July 1999 deadline. |
