Abstract
In recent years, an increasing number of malpractice cases have been reported, more than half of which are related to drug labels or packages. To devise guidelines for the layout of PTP sheets with bar codes, we performed an experiment in which each pharmacist set various items on PTP sheets, aiming at visibility and avoiding mistakes. Based on the experimental results, we classified the letter color and sheet color of PTP sheets, and developed a suggested guideline plan. Furthermore, we performed verification experiments for representative PTP sheets based on the suggested guideline plan.
