Abstract

Pharmacy Service of the Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska recently implemented a computerized Baxter ATC-212 Unit Dose System. During implementation of this system, pharmacy technicians completed an accuracy comparison with manual filling. The Baxter ATC-212 System was 99.98% accurate and manual filling was 92.62% accurate. The accuracy of the combination of manually and ATC-212 filled drawers was 98.77%. The technicians had a median error rate of three errors per day with an average 352 doses filled per day.
