Since 2017, the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, has a "Workstation on Wheels" project were nurses can access to a mobile application in order to register the drug´s administration, vital signs and complete an early warning assessment scale of the hemodynamic state of the patient. Although the overall objective was to achieve at least 95% drug registration through this system, their use did not remain stable over time. Therefore, it was necessary to create an interdisciplinary team to make a diagnosis of the project situation and reasons for the low use rate. In this process, a re-implementation of the barcoding administration system was carried out, focusing on the nursing staff maintaining the use of the system over time. The aim of this paper is to describe the experience and lessons learned in the process of re-implementing the drug barcoding system at the patient´s bedside.
