To Err Is Human

Survey from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)

Types and Percentages of Errors When Manually Compounding

 A survey provides insights into the state of sterile compounding systems and practices, and the need for improvements to reduce the risk of errors.3 Most respondents were pharmacists and pharmacy technicians employed in hospital pharmacy settings. The survey revealed an 9% overall average error rate when manually compounding. Of these errors, the types and percentages of errors were documented as follows:

/ 74% reported at least 1 sterile compounding error in the past year
/ 58% reported incorrect doses or concentrations prepared
/ 51% reported incorrect base solutions prepared
/ 4% reported medication error by misread syringes (at least 1 syringe graduation)

Quality Assurance

Automated systems eliminate human errors

Advanced image processing verification and validation transforms patient safety by using state of the art technology to ensure accurate dosage delivery. This means verifying the correct patient receives the correct medication and dosage in the correct format. This means verifying the correct patient receives the correct medication and dosage in the correct format. The Mundus Mini HD ensures that the exact volume is prepared via the appropriate method while maintaining the prescribed frequency for safe and effective treatment.

Capacity Crisis

Demand for oncology services is growing 6-8% annually due to an aging population, lifestyle factors increasing cancer cases, and advancements in cancer therapies. New, more tolerable treatments have extended therapy durations and enabled prolonged care, while improved survival rates allow for additional treatment lines. Workforce shortages in pharmacy, nursing, and medical staff, combined with limited space and rising demand, are leading to growing waiting lists and delays in starting cancer treatments.

Cancer service heads are facing increased pressure, compromising patient safety and overburdening staff.  The average vacancy rate for inpatient technician positions is 22.2% and for ambulatory technician positions is 20.8%.4 As a result, healthcare facilities are turning to technology to streamline processes and increase efficiency.
