Using bar coding for materials and supply chain management captures data faster and more accurately. Costs are lowered and data entry mistakes are minimized, making managing inventory easy and purchasing more efficient. A bar coded system can be implemented throughout all areas of a hospital to track assets, surgical instruments through the sterilization process, monitor material usage patterns, and to automate the reorder process in hospitals.

In addition to inventory control, bar code reading can be used in billing patients. Scanning both a patient’s wristband and billable items as they are being used helps hospitals accurately track and invoice costs associated to a patient's care.
