What are the Benefits of Using Barcode Scanning in Epidemiology?
Accuracy: Barcode scanning reduces human error in data entry, ensuring that the information collected is accurate and reliable. Efficiency: Scanning barcodes is much faster than manual data entry, enabling rapid data collection and analysis. Data Integration: Barcode scanning systems can be integrated with electronic health records (EHR) and laboratory information systems (LIS), streamlining data flow and improving data accessibility. Traceability: Barcodes provide a unique identifier for each sample or patient, allowing for precise tracking and historical analysis.
