BWH is a 2010 recipient of the CIO 100 award. Presented by CIO magazine, the award is given to 100 companies each year for creating new business value by innovating with technology. BWH is honored as a pioneer for its electronic medication administration process. For the past eight years, the hospital has been rolling out a new electronic medication administration process that uses bar coding at the pharmacy and the bedside to prevent potentially fatal errors in dispensing medication. In its most recent phase, the system has been expanded to oncology units. BWH’s studies show that the system has decreased potentially harmful medication errors by 67 percent.
