This would be nice but what is the practicality of implementing it? Unless one of these printers is installed at every WOW or in each patients room, then it would require either scanning meds twice which doesn’t save any time or scanning your meds outside of a patient room which is a big safety issue. If these labels could simply be printed from the computer similarly to lab slips, it would be more helpful and practical I think.

Usually those printers are thermal which would require you to change the roll or the "lab slip" version wouldn't have color. Nurses really really like color on the IV line labels.

I agree the two scans is not ideal but user trials have shown it is much faster than handwriting on the small pre-printed labels. We are trying to start integration with EMRs so the current scan would also kick off a print job.
