NFC-based Framework for Checking the Five Rights of Medication Administration

Medication errors that occur during the medication administration stage are a serious issue in healthcare. The most common types of errors in this stage are wrong patient, wrong medication, wrong time, wrong dose, and wrong route. In this paper, we propose a solution that uses NFC technology to help nurses provide the right patient with the right medication in the right dose at the right time and via the right route during the medication administration stage.
