Increasing Medication Errors Drive Pharmacy Automation Equipment Market Growth
A medication error involves inappropriate and ineffective dispensing of medicines that can harm patients. Common medication errors include dispensing a wrong drug, incorrect drug quantity, wrong drug strength, and item omission. Every year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) receives over 100,000 reports associated with medication errors. Further, as per the study Medication Errors, published in StatPearls in June 2020, every year, ~7,000–9,000 people die in the US due to medication errors. Similarly, as per the estimates of the study “Prevalence and Economic Burden of Medication Errors in the NHS In England,” published in 2018, ~237 million medication errors occur in the NHS, while avoidable adverse drug reactions (ADRs) lead to hundreds of deaths. ~75% of the medication errors occur due to distractions as the healthcare professionals are engaged in multiple tasks, including examining the patient, speaking to consultants, speaking to patient family members, and conversing with insurance professionals. Sometimes, a lapse of judgment, due to an urge to complete the duty early, also leads to a medication error. Another major cause of medication error is distortion caused due to poor writing, abbreviation usage, misunderstood symbols, or improper translation. Moreover, illegible writing has been a major concern faced by both pharmacists and nurses since many years. Thus, the increasing number of medication errors is boosting the adoption of pharmacy automation equipment.
