Double-Checking: Implementing a system of double-checking labels and patient information at each stage. Automation: Utilizing barcode and RFID technology to minimize human error. Training: Regular training sessions for staff to ensure they are aware of the importance of accurate labeling. Audits: Regular audits to identify and rectify any lapses in the labeling process.
