Abstract

Prescribing is one of the commonest tasks in daily general practice. Surprisingly there is little published research on errors that occur in this area. The aim of this study was to estimate the seriousness and level of prescribing errors that occurred in general practice. This prospective survey documented errors in prescriptions from 28 general practitioners as they occurred over a 3-day period in 12 community pharmacies. From a total of 3,948 prescriptions, 491 (12.4%) contained one or more errors. From a total of 8,686 drug items, 546 (6.2%) contained one or more errors. Of the errors the majority were minor (398, 72.9%), a smaller number (135, 24.7%) were major nuisance errors, and there were 13 (2.4%) potentially serious errors. The most common errors related to drug directions and dosage.

摘要

开处方是日常全科医疗中最常见的任务之一。令人惊讶的是，关于该领域出现的错误，发表的研究很少。本研究的目的是评估全科医疗中发生的处方错误的严重程度和水平。这项前瞻性调查记录了28位全科医生在12家社区药房3天内开具的处方中的错误。在总共3948张处方中，491张（12.4%）包含一个或多个错误。在总共8686种药品中，546种（6.2%）包含一个或多个错误。在这些错误中，大多数是小错误（398个，72.9%），较少数量的是严重干扰性错误（135个，24.7%），还有13个（2.4%）潜在的严重错误。最常见的错误与用药说明和剂量有关。
