Practical guide to bar coding for patient medication safety.

The American Journal of Health System Pharmacy has an extensive 
primer article on bar coding in their issue of April 15 2003. 
www.ashp.org 

Very informative not only on bar coding itself, but also on the systems
necessary for preventing medication errors. Unfortunately it is only
available for subscribers and members of ASHP, The American 
Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
