A drug administration system includes a cradle attached about an
intravenous injection port having a flange extending therefrom. The
cradle supports first drug administration information in the nature of
machine and human readable code, for example, barcode. A syringe
including a needle includes a flange extending from the syringe. The
syringe supports second drug administration information in machine and/or
human readable form. A scanner module is constructed to slidably receive
the flange of the cradle and syringe whereby the syringe needle is
aligned with the intravenous injection port. The module may be provided
with an electronic scanning system for identifying the first and second
drug administration information, as well as determining the amount of the
drug being administered from the syringe to the injection port by
monitoring movement of the syringe plunger. The information and data may
be stored within the module for uploading to a remote location.
