Abstract:
Nominative drug dispensation significantly reduces the incidence of medication errors. Computerized automated unit dose drug distribution system could be a safest hospital drug distribution system and allows an improvement of drug distribution in clinical ward. In 2005, at the Vinatier Hospital, an automated ward dispensing device was acquired. This report describes the implementation of this system and the experience of the pharmacy department. The implementation of an automated unit dose system includes expanding computerized order entry system, physicians' training and nurses to use the software, pharmaceutic staff's training to use the new dispensing system and setting under quality assurance the dispensation process.
