    The device or system supporter has many functions, these function are to allow the clinician to be have portable access to health information about a patient. This device can cover safety about medication administration, and for billing purposes. Most hospitals use them today and the hospital bracelets are tagged with a bar code on them.

The COPE system would take care of most of the medication business for the clinicians (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).The device also depends on the ability to detect barcodes of medication bottles (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).The bar codes must also be present on the medication bottles in order to receive data on the dosages or calculations (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).In fact, the FDA has required that all medication bottles have bar codes on the bottle. Having the barcodes on the bottle, will give the clinician information about the drug. Use of this device can be a big challenge for smaller hospitals because purchasing drugs by unit is very expensive (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).Lastly, not all drugs are easy to scan the barcode. For example, multiple IV bags that may be used in intensive care, are difficult to scan by unit (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).Another challenge may include the names of the drugs; they may not be the same has the names in the pharmacy (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki, & Amatayakul, 2011).This is a problem because the pharmacy uses a system that brings up the drug name, serial number, and manufacturer for example (LaTour, Eichenwald-Maki,…
