At Ikeda Municipal Hospital, we created an order entry system for the dispensing and mixing of injections in November 2003. We then compared the numbers of injections that pharmacists mixed and administered to patients, the rates for injections mixed by pharmacists, return rates for injections mixed by pharmacists and dispensing error rates between the four months before and after introducing the system. Compared to before the introduction of the system, the number of injections that pharmacists mixed and administered to patients increased by about 40%, the rate for injections mixed by pharmacists increased by 2% and the return rate for injections decreased by approximately 1%. The dispensing error rate decreased to 0.26%, a marked drop from the 2.23% error rate before introducing the system. Based on these results, we felt that our order entry system for the dispensing and mixing of injections was very useful.
