Enhancing injection and infusion safety through label-based verification

In clinical settings, three-point verification refers to the process of confirming, prior to medication administration, that the patient, the medication (such as injections or IV infusions), and the nurse all correctly correspond to the physician’s order.

Performing this verification helps prevent patient misidentification and ensures accurate documentation of which nurse administered which medication to which patient.

By using labels linked to injection orders, nurses can perform tasks more safely and reliably at the point of care, reducing both workload and stress.
