Stimulated by frustration, we have begun an effort to quantify the impact of illegibility of prescriptions on both potential error rates and time consumed in filling prescriptions. In an experimental situation, despite more than 14 seconds being expended on each prescription, almost 30% of the interpretations were erroneous. The implications for patient care and for negligence allegations, plus for the costs of both, are obvious.
受挫折感的刺激，我们已开始努力量化处方字迹潦草对潜在错误率和配药耗时的影响。在一个实验场景中，尽管每张处方花费了超过14秒的时间，但几乎30%的解读是错误的。这对患者护理、过失指控以及两者的成本所产生的影响是显而易见的。
