HealthPRO Canada

During Canadian Patient Safety Week, we’re proud to highlight our commitment to improving patient safety and reducing healthcare harm. At HealthPRO Canada, we are focused on using our voice to increase patient safety. Through our ongoing national advocacy, we are driving a breakthrough in the number of Suppliers adopting 2D barcodes on medications. These barcodes enable healthcare workers to manage medications safely and effectively by tracking inventory using lot, expiry date and traceability to the patient receiving the dose. HealthPRO Canada will continue to push for more on this issue and others that directly impact patient safety. Together, let’s create a safer healthcare environment for all! #CPSW2024 #PatientSafety #2DBarcodes #HealthcareAdvocacy
