At Sapporo Medical University Hospital, 170,000 to 190,000 prescriptions have been issued annually in the last 4 years (excluding those for injections). The number of dispensing errors made with respect to prescriptions was 71 in 2003 (incidence based on total number of prescriptions: 0.041%), and 75 in 2004 (incidence: 0.044%). However, owing to the hospital requiring identification codes printed in prescriptions to be checked in dispensing and in audits from 2005 onwards, the number of errors decreased greatly, to 25 (incidence: 0.014%) in 2005, and then to 20 (incidence: 0.01%) in 2006. The decrease in the 2 years following the requirement to check identification codes was significant when compared with the dispensing error rates in the 2 years before this requirement (p<0.001). The checking process requires an average of 1.58 seconds per medicine and facilitates risk avoidance in dispensing. We consider that it contributed to reducing dispensing errors, particularly when there was only 1 person working on the night shift.
