| description | Dispensing error (DE) is the medication error which normally occurred at pharmacy
site or service before medications supply or administer to patients. Findings from DE
study are used as indicator to determine the quality of the drug supply from drug
distribution system of the pharmacy services. DE should be avoided because it may
affect patient’s health status complications and prolong hospital stay. Penang
Hospital implemented the unit dose drug distribution system in order to reduce
medication errors. An observational prospective study was conducted at Central
Pharmacy of Penang Hospital for six months to determine data on patients’
demographic characteristics, incidence of DE, pharmacological classes of drugs and
types of medications involved and also the risk factors. |
