Abstract
A total of 92 errors were recorded which corresponded to 1.4% of the total prescriptions. The most significant errors were: incorrect dose (28.2%), incorrect duration (21.7%), incorrect volume and/or inadequate vehicle (16.3%), and in one case a prescription was made up where the patient was allergic to the specific cytostatic drug prescribed. 81.8% of prescription errors were made manually. In the haematology department a 0.9% error was recorded, as was a 3.5% error in paediatric oncohaematology. Both the rate of pharmaceutical intervention and its level of acceptance were 100%.
