Ancillary-written prescription errors

Ancillary-written prescription errors

R Austin et al. J R Coll Gen Pract. 1980 Jul.

Abstract

Prescriptions written by 261 doctors and their ancillaries were examined for errors. Owing to the differential incidence of such errors in the two groups, socio-economic characteristics were investigated but there was little to explain the differing standards of prescription writing. However, further examination revealed a strong tendency for doctors who make errors to have ancillary staff who also make errors, and vice versa.
