Great Question. No system can eliminate errors, but using a good system with standard process will and has proven eliminated errors. I used the Vantage System in my lab and the only errors we had in several years (about 1 to 2 per year) occurred when staff were not following standard work and single piece flow. These are very important LEAN concepts that work. I can't imagine implementing a bar coding system without using LEAN workflow in a lab. Doing so would be a great waste of money.JanOmaha
