Anderson HJ - When CEO John Moore of 25-bed Hiawatha (Kan.) Community Hospital saw a TV report about medication errors, he decided to investigate affordable ways for the tiny hospital to quickly address the issue. Moore and other executives at the critical access facility ultimately concluded that the most cost-effective approach would be to adopt bar coding. So the hospital spent about $100,000 worth of donations to help pay for the technology. In addition, it negotiated a special deal with the vendor, IntelliDOT Corp., San Diego, to pay off the remaining balance over a five-month period.
