Abstract:

Automated dispensing systems have been applied for maintaining medication safety, improving drug distribution, and reducing the risk of medication errors in different pharmacy practice. Automated dispensing machines maintain the balance of accessibility, stock control of medications, and protection which were the main features of a safe medication distribution system. It should be linked with medication review and regular patient counselling.

Abstract:

Community pharmacies are the main channel of antibiotics distribution. We aimed to analyze the dispensing of non-prescribed antibiotics and knowledge of pharmacy staff. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Punjab, Pakistan between December 2017 and March 2018. A self-administered, structured, pretested, and validated bilingual questionnaire was used, and we used chi-square tests in the statistical analysis. A total of 573 (91.7%) pharmacy retailers responded to the survey; 44.0% were aged 31–40 years and all were men. Approximately 81.5% of participants declared that dispensing non-prescrib

Abstract:

Background Medication errors are pervasive. Electronic prescriptions (e-prescriptions) convey secure and computer-readable prescriptions from clinics to outpatient pharmacies for dispensing. Once received, pharmacy staff perform a transcription task to select the medications needed to process e-prescriptions within their dispensing software. Later, pharmacists manually double-check medications selected to fulfill e-prescriptions before dispensing to the patient. Although pharmacist double-checks are mostly effective for catching medication selection mistakes, the cognitive process of medicatio

Participants' accuracy and work pace in the simulation, presimulation stress, and postsimulation perceived workload and state anxiety were measured. Analysis indicated that state anxiety and overall accuracy were strongly related. State anxiety appears to be one of the best predictors of e

Abstract:

A core competency of Australian Pharmacy graduates is to prepare and compound extemporaneous formulations. Students in our pharmacy course would traditionally formulate extemporaneous products in laboratory classes while simultaneously preparing a handwritten label, with students divorcing this laboratory activity from the entire dispensing process. As a way to incorporate the dispensing process into the preparation of extemporaneous products without adding excessive time to the laboratory, we integrated MyDispense, a virtual pharmacy simulation, in pre-laboratory activities.
