What if you could utilise the power of automation to reduce medication errors?
From prescribing to patient bedside, the medication journey has multiple handoff points that can result in error:
- 1 medication error is made every 20 admissions.1
- Errors occur at all stages of the medicines use process: manual prescription (22%), electronic prescription (17%), dispensing (17%), administration (32%) and preparation (12%).2
- 29% of hand-written prescriptions contain at least 1 error, in an oncology setting.3
- 10.44% of compounded preparations contain errors with potential critical impact.4
