Title: Automated Dispensing -A Safer Healthcare Facility
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies estimates that preventable medication errors
result in more than 7,000 deaths each year in hospitals and tens of thousands more in outpatient
facilities like nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.
That’s nearly 20 every day.
Studies have shown that medical dispensing errors at hospitals and other healthcare facilities can
be reduced with an automated medication cabinet.
An automated medication cabinet reduces dispensing errors by
• Streamlining the dispensing process.
When a caregiver selects a patient’s name on the
screen, the system directs them to the correct drawer and pocket.
• Alerts warn of potential medication errors.
Automatic patient-specific medication alerts
and warnings about dangerous dose levels and drug combinations give caregivers the
information they need to prevent injury, an adverse drug reaction, or even death.
