• Illegible handwriting
• Transcription errors
• Lack of traceability
• No access to the full medical history
Advantages & disadvantages
• Real-time access to patient records
• Avoid transcription errors and illegible
issues
• Improve workflow efficiency
• Help prescribers with decision
support systems
• New type of medication errors

Adverse events, which represent
between 3% and 5% of all hospital
admissions in the UK, costing the
NHS around 500 million GBP

In Spain, adverse events accounted for 3.47% of
admissions in large hospitals (ENEA). According to
AHQR (Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality's) each adverse event linked to medication
costs about € 3,200.
In UE, make a mistake until 60 million in non-electronic
prescriptions per year, (3% of all prescriptions issued)
With a 40% adoption of electronic prescribing, 40% of the errors
could be avoided
British Journal of General Practice.
CPOE+CDSS reduce prescribing errors. However, they have no
effect on medication administration errors. ‘Closed loop’
medication management systems, which combine CPOE+CDSS
with other proven technologies to prevent errors at each step
of the medication pathway, show great promise for preventing
clinical adverse events.

clinical parameters: e.g. erythropoietin and hemoglobin levels.
Conclusions
1. Closed loop medication process improve
patient safety reducing medication errors.
2. Development of the tools we have will lead
