Abstract:
An automated dispensing system installed in an acute hospital has halved dispensing errors and released more than 30 per cent of technicians' time for other duties. Reducing medication errors can have a considerable effect on reducing pressure on hospital beds. Automation has considerable advantages in light of the continuing shortage of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
