The actual condition of dispensing errors in our hospital pharmacy was investigated and analyzed by a simple statistical method. Prescriptions to inpatients and outpatients were used as samples. The distribution of daily error rate (i.e. the number of detected errors to the number of prescriptions made daily) was slightly shifted to the higher error rate in histogram. The number of errors showed a significant correlation with the number of prescriptions. When the prescriptions of inpatients were made for a week, the number of errors increased as compared with a general rule under which the weekly dispensing schedule was divided into 3-day and 4-day cycles. Though the counting of drug is simple operation, the errors of tablet or capsule counting occupied about 50% of total errors. The error rate by day of the week did not show statistically significant difference. From these results, it is considered that the number of dispensing errors are in proportion to the number of prescriptions made daily or are related to the disorder of general rule in routine work.
