PSB Technical Manual

Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) software provides a real-time, point-of-care solution for validating the administration of Unit Dose (UD) and Intravenous (IV) medications to inpatients in Veterans Administration Medical Centers (VAMCs).

The end result is enhanced patient safety and patient care at VAMCs. The following Technical Manuals exist:
