...have just recently seen a major spike in the use of them to track records. According to “Barcode Technology in Healthcare” (2013) section of Wikipedia,” barcode technology in healthcare is the use of optical machine-readable representation of data in a hospital or healthcare setting”. In 1995, the Bar Code Medication Administration (BMCA) was created by a nurse at the Colmery-O’Neil Veteran Medical Center in Topeka, Kansas. It was marketed to many facilities by the Department of Veteran Affairs. The “Barcode Technology in Healthcare” (2013) goes on to say that recent published reports in the early 2000’s have shown a high rate of medical errors and increased healthcare expenses (“Barcode Technology in Healthcare”, 2013). These errors along with the ever growing need to cut costs were the driving force behind the use of barcodes in the healthcare industry. Barcodes are now realistic and applicable solutions that have had a high priority placed on them to reduce errors and promote patient safety. In 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ruled that barcodes must be used on certain human drugs. Any drugs that were manufactured on or after April 26, 2006 must have had a bar code on them. They did not recall any drugs made before that date and allowed distribution of the...

...Tan Lines and Bar Codes Although refusing to conform to society guarantees a life as a social pariah and may present harsh consequences, the road to individuality gives one an opportunity to discover his or her purpose in life through uniqueness and their morals. In “A&P,” John Updike portrays an exceptional story of a teenager’s battle between doing what is right and going along with society. The teenager, Sammy, works as a cashier at the local grocery store where he is presented with a situation with three teenage girls who walk in the store with only their bathing suits. When the manager spots the girls, he asks them to leave, and Sammy decides that they were not treated fair, so he quits his job at the store. Sammy made a choice to stand up for the girls in hopes of they would recognize his bravery and talk to him. His choice to refuse society’s ways cost him his job, but it teaches the audience a valuable lesson. When stood with adversity between what is right and wrong, one must always stand up for what is right no matter what society will think of them and no matter the consequences. By being unique, one expresses his or her individuality by standing out from the norm of society either by the way they dress and/or the way they act. In a society, one will meet some interesting people who have chosen to be unique and refuse to follow the rules of the standard world. These people are on their way to discovering their purpose in life, but they are criticized often for...

...also at fault for over serving a customer to the point of excessive intoxication. The facts of the case were very clear cut and obvious to me. The bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern served Mr. Hard six beverages within the last half hour he was at the bar. On the tab Mr. Hard paid it showed that he ordered 13 drinks and that 11 of them were consumed by Mr. Hard. His blood alcohol content was at a .20, which is two times the legal limit of .08. Being in the medical field and also being a Command Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor for the Navy I know that at a .20 there is no way you are of sound mind to do anything. Usually a person with this Blood alcohol content are confused, they need help completing tasks (standing, walking, using the bathroom), they are between 50-100 times more likely to get into an accident, and they are very close to being incoherent. At 7:43pm Mr. Hard left the bar, according to the bartender, appearing to be of sound mind and judgment. He was picked up by the police at 7:55pm slurring, disheveled and with no recollection of what had happened. Clearly this man had way too much to drink and should have never been served this much in such a short period of time. According to the Dram Shop Act Indiana Code 7.1-5-10-15.5 “Sec. 15. (a) It is unlawful for a person to sell, barter, deliver, or give away an alcoholic beverage to another person who is in a state of intoxication if the person knows that the other person is intoxicated. (b) In any civil proceeding...

...Representatives: Benjamin Walton and Jordan Van Meter Defendant Council Overview: Jordan Van Meter and Benjamin Walton are representing the defendant who is Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern. The representing defense suggests that the Court give a summary judgment to John Daniels who was the bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern. The Plaintiff is seeking damages from the defendant, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s tavern stating that Mr. Gibbs had knowledge of Mr. Hard’s intoxication. The Indiana Law. Ind Code Ann 7.1-5-10-15.5 2006 does require that a defendant have actual knowledge in order to recover damages. Constructive knowledge does not satisfy the presumption, only subjective knowledge. Circumstantial evidences cannot support constructive knowledge, but only actual knowledge. According to the 7th circuit court of Indiana, visible acts of intoxication are subjective. The bartender himself only saw Mr. Hard sitting on a stool drinking whiskey which is not an uncommon occurrence in a bar. The case that was cited in the courtroom, the Ash Lock case (Ashlock v. Norris, 475 N.E.2d 1167, 1170 Ind. Ct. App. 1985) was not as severe as this case. This specific bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern did not have actual knowledge of Mr. Hard’s intoxication levels. He did not notice the altercation Mr. Hart had with Mr. White at the door nor did he notice Mr. Hard tripping over a pool stick. These specific inferences were after the last drink was served therefore this defendant considers this actual...

...wrong doing based off the 1988 Indiana Supreme Court Case which stated that contextual knowledge alone will not suffice. The plaintiff, Deborah White, is requesting that the court denies the defendant’s request for summary judgment. The plaintiff claims to have sufficient evidence which will prove bartender John Daniels did see visible signs of intoxication from Edward Hart. Edward Hart had consumed 11 drinks within a two hour span while at the Tavern. Regardless of body type, shape or size that amount of Alcohol consumed by a single individual can reasonably infer that he had shown visible signs of intoxication. Edward Hart had been observed falling off of his stool as well as tripping over a pool stick by another patron in the bar. Upon leaving the bar Edward Hart had hit multiple parked cars in the parking lot. Mr. Hart displayed signs of his inability to operate a motor vehicle by swerving all over the road, driving on the opposite side of the roadway, taking out a mailbox, and eventually crashing into plaintiff, Deborah Whites car injuring her and killing her husband.

...them to their destination. Many individuals travel for celebrations like weddings, births, and even funerals (Merith, 2009). My favorite reason to travel is for relaxation. My husband and I travel a few times each year for romantic getaway weekends. The pressures of our jobs, the lack of privacy in our home, and the need for a quiet place to relax without the obligations of parenthood are just a few of the reasons we have for traveling. We have a favorite hotel where we enjoy spending the weekends away. We are there so often the staff knows us by name. The property is a Wyndham historic hotel that has been restored to its former glory. The restaurant, The Dancing Goat, serves elegant meals in a cozy atmosphere and the piano bar offers a late night opportunity for dancing and romance. The candlelit tables and soft piano music create a dreamy atmosphere. This hotel is also close to the plantation house where my husband and I were married. It is a wonderful experience each time we visit. Reference Merith, S. (2009, August 4). 10 Reasons Why People Travel. Retrieved from...

...a local dance bar. For hundreds of years, bars have been around ensuring that people are having a great time and enjoying their drink of choice. Bars will never fade away and go out of style and every city and town could always use something new and exciting that will help draw them away from one bar and to another. Everyone enjoys dancing, fun music, great drinks and entertainment throughout the whole year. Lincoln, Nebraska has around two hundred and fifteen thousand people and is always growing. It is most known for the University of Nebraska where college sports is always dominant, so that means when school is in session there are thousands of college kids ready to party and let loose from all their studying. To the west in Lincoln there is a new district that is growing steadily with new restaurants and bars. This is all within walking distance from the football stadium and the newly built arena where concerts and basketball games are played. In this area there is a city block that has two levels of bars and restaurants and an outdoor patio with a giant big screen television outside for everyone to watch major events. This place is called the rail yard since it was built right where the train station used to be many years ago. At the rail yard people have their choice of choosing a bar to enjoy, getting a drink outside and watch an exciting sporting event on the giant screen or do both. At the very top of the corner in the rail yard there is a bar called Vega. ...

...Bar Code Safety and Efficacy http://www.psqh.com/sepoct05/barcodingrfid1.html Errors that occur earlier in the medication process are more readily detected (~50% are prevented during the ordering stage) while very few (< 2%) are caught at the administration stage (bates et al., 1995). further, it has been noted that more than one third of medication errors occur at the latter stage (leape et al., 1995). because of the relatively high proportion of errors and the lack of success preventing them, error reduction strategies targeted at the administration stage High rates of preventable medication errors have been repeatedly reported in studies in the medical literature (Bates et al., 1995; Leape et al., 1995; Flynn et al., 2002; Kanjanarat et al., 2003). It is difficult, however, to cite a single number to define the extent of the medication error problem due to differences in institutions, study methodologies, error definitions, and other variables. On the high end of estimates, one study that compiled data from 36 institutions reported 19% (~1 in 5) of the medication doses studied over a 4-day period involved medication errors (Barker et al., 2002). These errors included wrong time (43%), omission (30%), wrong dose (17%), and unauthorized drug (4%). The number of these errors deemed potentially harmful adverse drug events (ADEs) was 7%.

Claire era muy contenta de ver su restaurante favorito. Al entrada, el portero les saludó y les pidió su numero de reserva. Paul le dijo que era la primera vez que vinieron a ese restaurante y ellos no sabian que deben dar una reserva. El portero les dijo que no había ninguna mesa libre porque los clientes hacian las reservas desde un mes antes. Paul se fue a un camarero y le dijo que el condujo una larga distancia para hacer una sorpresa a su esposa para su cumpleaños. El camarero le dijo que si querían, podían esperar en el bar para ver si alguien cancelará su reserva. Mientras esperaban en el bar, una camarera llamaba el apellido “Fosters”. Súbitamente Paul le dijo que ellos eran “Fosters”. Claire dijo que no era una buena idea tomar la reserva de otra familia, pero al mismo tiempo ella quería mucho degustar la comida italiana. Después de sentarse, ellos pidieron la especialidad de la casa. Una hora más tarde, mientras ellos estaban hablando y comiendo , cuatro camareros se acercaron a su mesa. Como la tradición de este restaurante, cantaban feliz cumpleaños para Clair. Cuando los camareros cantaban, otro camarero trajo una tortilla pequeña sobre que fue escrita “cumpleaños feliz Sra.
