In practice, a bag is prepared, labeled with name and surname, department and hospital identification code, containing all the medicines that the patient must take during the day
Ten years of unit dose drugs: the experience of the Forlì hospital. Discussions between professionals on 16 December in the Pieratelli Room of the Morgagni-Pierantoni Hospital. Since May 2004, coinciding with the start of activities in the new hospital, the «unitary dose project» has been active in the Forlì local health authority. Since then, hundreds of delegations of doctors and pharmacists from all over the world have arrived at the "Morgagni-Pierantoni" hospital to understand this type of innovative path which does not end with the futuristic "Pillpick" robot, but which involves all hospital processes.
In practice, a bag is prepared, labeled with name and surname, department and hospital identification code, containing all the medicines that the patient must take during the day, with indications on how to take them. This allows for continuous verification by the pharmacist of the prescribed dosages and a double check on the prescription, as well as the impossibility of exchanging medicines in the ward.
