Each year, medication errors cause more than 7000 deaths in USA alone. This research will result in a much lower dispensing error rate in community pharmacies. The new dispensing verification process will: (1) dramatically reduce the "missed-catch" rate in final dispensing verification process; (2) improve health care quality by allowing pharmacists to spend more time on patients rather than on tedious and error prone manual medication checking; (3) reduce the healthcare delivery cost by automating the verification portion of the dispensing process.
