New tool to reduce pharmacy errors
The U.S. Pharmacoepeia, a standards-setting organization for the pharmacy industry, has announced the introduction of a new tool designed to reduce pharmacy errors due to look-alike or sound-alike medications. The new tool is called the Drug Error Finder.
The new tool catalogs the prescription errors that have been made because of similar medication names and/or similar medication appearances. It also rates the severity of the injuries resulting from the errors.
This is a welcome tool for both pharmacists and consumers as we all try to make sure that we are taking the right medications.
