Drug errors constitute a public health problem. The objective of our study was to describe drug circuit essential steps in the Lebanese hospitals, starting at prescription to administration, in comparison with Lebanese accreditation standards. We also evaluated technical drug errors.
A cross sectional study of all hospitals in Beirut and Mount Lebanon was carried out, where a pharmacist and a nurse per hospital answered anonymous standardized questionnaires.
We found the drug circuit suffered from gaps in all 59 hospitals that were visited: doctors should increase efforts to clarify prescriptions and furnish necessary information for nurses, pharmacists better apply accreditation standards, and nurses verify and re-verify treatments before administration.
Regulatory laws are necessary for all involved actors for best responding to the responsibility in question, that is patient security.
用药错误构成一个公共卫生问题。我们研究的目的是描述黎巴嫩医院从处方到给药的药品流通关键步骤，并与黎巴嫩的认证标准进行比较。我们还评估了技术性用药错误。
对贝鲁特和黎巴嫩山的所有医院进行了一项横断面研究，每家医院的一名药剂师和一名护士回答了匿名标准化问卷。
我们发现在走访的所有59家医院中，药品流通都存在漏洞：医生应加大力度明确处方并为护士提供必要信息，药剂师应更好地应用认证标准，护士在给药前应核实并再次核实治疗情况。
对于所有相关行为者来说，监管法律对于最佳履行所涉责任（即患者安全）是必要的。
