TRAILER 1
TRAILER 2
Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of injury and avoidable harm in health care systems across the world. Globally, the cost associated with medication errors has been estimated at $42 billion USD annually. Errors can occur at different stages of the medication use process.
More than 237 million medication errors are made every year in England, the avoidable consequences of which cost the NHS upwards of £98 million and more than 1700 lives every year, indicate national estimates, published online in the journal BMJ Quality & Safety.
The rapid advancement in science and technology is improving approaches to treatment in medicine, enabling increasingly precise and personalized prescribing.
This is good news for patients. But what does it mean for prescribers? How is the role of clinical pharmacists changing? Is medication management getting easier with electronic prescribing and the development of decision support systems? What is the current state of decision support systems? AI development holds great promises but in order to be applicable to all, it needs to overcome various challenges such as the lack of diversity in training data sets.
