Summary
Medication errors can occur at any point in the system for prescribing, dispensing and administering drugs in the NHS – and can often be the result of human errors creeping in as burned out staff misread or miscalculate the amount needed. This article in the Health Services Journal examines how closed loop medication management systems can improve patient safety by ensuring patients are prescribed the right dosage of the right medications.
The author speaks to Islam Elkonaissi, former lead pharmacist for cancer services in Cambridge, about the importance of well-planned implementation and bridging the gap between IT specialists and healthcare workers to make sure that potential for communication errors is minimised. They also discuss the value of the huge amounts of data AI systems can collect, which in turn make the systems more precise and accurate.
