Why bar code
The value of bar coding to the health care supply chain
Bar coding is the key to automated materials management. By using the HIBC coding system, the whole health care supply chain can benefit not only from easy, accurate and prompt handling of materials, but also from a readibly available, simply assembled source of valuable data.
