Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The safe management of medicines within the theatre complex, from storage to administration, is a key component in preventing patient safety incidents. Simple measures, such as double-checking or clear labelling, can be utilised to reduce the risk of inadvertent drug administration. However, the recognition that human factors contribute to errors has led to more advanced, electronic solutions being utilised. One such automated system, involving barcoding together with visual and auditory cues, is currently under assessment by the National Patient Safety Agency. |
