Misinterpretation Management
For all the talent medical prescribers possess, penmanship is rarely their strong suit. Misinterpreted prescription information can lead to improper dispensing, which can quickly lead to disaster.
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) recently released a list of error-prone abbreviations, symbols and dose designations that should never be used when communicating medical information verbally, electronically and/or in handwritten applications because of the risk for potentially harmful medication errors. Pre-printed warning labels, magnets, bags and bins help improve error prevention initiatives wherever these drugs are ordered, filled or dispensed.
Use labels on prescription containers, medication storage bins, drug administration records, automated dispensing cabinets, smart infusion pumps and other medication-related technologies.
