‘The error of one
moment becomes the
sorrow of whole life.’
A Chinese Proverb
Medicines safety is a key concern
 Errors do occur, UK studies show that:
o Prescribing errors occur in 1.5 - 9.2% of medication orders
written for hospital inpatients
o Dispensing errors are identified in 0.02% of dispensed items
o Medication administration errors occur in 3.0 - 8.0% of nonintravenous doses and about 50% of all intravenous doses
 The use of ePrescribing can help reduce such errors
