Overview

Qualitative analysis identifies factors contributing to medication errors, suggesting electronic prescriptions could enhance patient safety.

Key Points

  • Analysis identified seven factors, including overprocessing by pharmacy staff and insufficient human resources in the pharmacy installation.
  • Interviews and focus group discussions were used for qualitative data collection, involving pharmacy staff and hospital directors.
  • Implementing electronic prescriptions led to zero incidents during the observation period, highlighting the need for urgent system changes.
